It seems to me that personal preference is determined somewhat by the desired Report results.  As a test, enter Census Event as desired or in any of the ways offered in this exchange, then run all the different reports selecting different report options -

Well, to be technically accurate, I would think a census would only be an event in the life of the census taker. It would indeed be only a source for persons listed. It's pretty hard to get people to change when they have been doing it wrong for years, but it would be nice to acknowledge the truth.
