Hi Mary, AT&T had no clue about the watches when I called last week to ask about their plan, so I ordered from Apple. I wasn't asked to pick a carrier during the ordering process, so I guess whatever linking of my watch to my mobile account and phone will need to be done once the watch gets here. So I don't see any advantage in ordering from the carrier.
