I definitely prefer the latter, for several reasons:

--the values can be used as indices for a tuning table
--selecting scale degrees randomly or algorithmically is much easier
--you don't need to do a bunch of addition every time you play a note
--lots of scales don't really follow the whole/half-step paradigm
--easier to read (that's pretty subjective, of course)
