It ultimately comes down to what method works best for you, I've also had success using a floor jack.
Another problem you may encounter during disassembly is the long bolt holding the upper "A" arm in place. On my car the left one was bent so it couldn't be just extracted normally and working in the wheel well there was no room to drive it out with a hammer and punch. I had to twist it out with vice grips an inch at a time cut it off and repeat the process, it took hours to get it out. If the suspension had been on the bench I could had drive the bolt out in a few minutes.
That's just to give you an idea of how much easier this project will be on the bench. To say nothing of your back and knees!
