There is no "better".

Putting everything in smtpd_recipient_restrictions makes
whitelisting easier, and some folks find it easier to follow the
order this way. Almost all "simple" examples shown on this list use
this method; being easier to type is probably a contributing factor.

Separating restrictions allows more complex expressions, and some
folks find this ordering easier to follow. This does make
whitelisting harder, but also more flexible.

Use whatever works best for you and your needs.

You control the order regardless.
