[jQuery] Any benefit to using event.preventDefault() over "return false" to cancel out an href click?

[jQuery] Any benefit to using event.preventDefault() over "return false" to cancel out an href click?


Just curious if there is a best practice when choosing between
$("a").click(function(){
// stuff
return false;
});
and
$("a").click(function(){
// stuff
event.preventDefault();
});
to cancel out the href of an anchor when clicked.
Thanks in advance for the help.
