Remote terminal: xterm -e ssh <host> vs. ssh <host> xterm



What are best practices to create a remote terminal?  I see to ways:
Create a local terminal emulator and run ssh to the remote host in
that or call ssh to run the terminal emulator on the remote host,
i.e.

    xterm -e ssh -X <host>      or      ssh -X <host> xterm -ls

What are pros and cons?  I see one: The latter will produce more
overhead as it runs the X11 protocol through the ssh tunnel.
