Default Lower anchors vs seat belt (TF RF)

OK, so I just got my shiny new TrueFit and read the manual all the way through. It explains RF installation using the Lower Anchors, and using the seat belt. But it doesn't recommend one way over the other.
Is one way better than the other? Or is it a YMMV thing? It's a lap/shoulder belt, BTW.

If it's in a position that has LATCH (usually in the window seats, but you'd have to check your manual for your car to be sure), then I would use LATCH. It's usually much easier to get a really good rearfacing installation with LATCH. If it's a position without LATCH or in the unusual event that a LATCH install is loose, then use the seatbelt
