The setq version could have an advantage if you could arrange so that
custom-file was just stored in this expression, not in the custom-file. Then
the value of custom-file would just be in one place. That would perhaps be
possible by changing the :set and :get functions in defcustom for
custom-file.

I would prefer this.
