Page/Visual Level Filters vs Filters in your DAX | What is better to use?

[Anonymous]

Hey all - quick question. What is the preferred method of filtering data? Usually, in my measures, I would use the filter function to aggregate values specifically. But I've seen from other people's report that they'd just drag and drop filters into visuals or pages by just selecting boxes.. is this bad practice or is this fine too?
