Well, if you don't need the broadcast packets and/or non-IP packets, and you do
not already have a bridge setup, then it is much easier to just set up proxy
ARP. But since you already have a bridge interface it would have been more easy
for you to add the VPN interface to it :)

In theory it should not matter in your case. But you can try it out if you
want.
