Brian,
In my opinion, it doesn't really matter. An argument can be made that if you have a roof leak, it's advantageous to discover the leak quickly, and to know its location.
Six to one and half a dozen to the other.
I think it's more important to pay attention to airtightness. Tape the seams between sections of the DuroVent baffles for a superior installation.
