All that was given were the facts for both and some of the history behind why the methods were chosen. I am not going to comment on the "goodness" or "badness" of any suggestion, they are loaded terms not conducive to a technical discussion in this forum. Both ways work for an LFS style build. Only one method works for all LFS, LFS multilib, Cross LFS multilib and standard old-style cross-toolchain builds (sysroot builds not included in this list, they dont need these shenannigans) Read what was written, read the gcc info file, look at how the -B option is used during a gcc build (preferably a bootstrap build, so you understand its purpose, why it exists and why you will barely ever see it used anywhere else), then make up your mind based upon the facts.
