It's a matter of taste. ;-)  Which does not say that any one choice
corresponds to the actual taste of the majority.

Note that the section you refer to specifically aims to illustrate that
column and table constraints are more or less interchangeable, which does
not mean that it is always a good idea to change them around beyond
recognition.

That said, if you have a better way to word it, please say so.
