I think it's really 6 of one and half-a-dozen of another. Either way will return the same results.
I keep mine plugged into shore power 24x7 (at home -- Indiana, even in the winter).
In many cases the difference can be important.
If BOTH your tender and the built-in converter are well designed true float tenders, then is shouldn't make much if any difference.
Many RVs come with single stage converters with is equivalent to using a non-automatic battery charger which can float too high and "boil" off the water in the batteries.
P.S. This subject has already been discussed about a thousand times on here already. A simple search or two would be helpful.
