The advantage of using \finger is that your indication is applied as a
fingering indication.
Thus, if for example you decide to remove all your fingerings it would be
removed as well.

Actually in this case with the default value of avoid-slur of 'around the
fingering would be also inside the slur (but outside for your first
example).
See the code below (it is probably different than the code you used, but
you get the idea):
rit = -\markup { \italic rit. }
II = -\finger \markup { \fontsize #-4 II }
aTempo = ^\markup { \italic "a tempo" }
\relative c''' {
\time 3/8
c16(\> c,^\rit dis\II c' eis, c')\fermata |
c,8(\p\aTempo f g)
}
Kind regards,
