Either will work, as addgroup is a symlink to adduser:

enjae[westk]:/home/westk> ls -l /usr/sbin/addgroup
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Aug 30 08:15 
/usr/sbin/addgroup -> adduser

I just tend to think of adding users to groups as a group function. But 
it is equally valid to think of it as a user function. Additionally, 
since "adduser" is the real utility, it probably is more 
accurate/portable to use your method.
