Is either more correct: Network cmd wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 vs.

Greetings.

Does anyone know whether there's a more correct way (as far as the lab exam
grading goes) between a 0.0.0.0 wildcard mask in the network command vs a
wildcard mask that defines the whole subnet for that interface?

int e0
  ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
router eigrp 10
  network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 ! versus
  network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

They both functionally do the same thing, but is there a best practice
around that? In my search on group-study archives, I found a thread from
2001 that ultimately recommended the 0.0.0.0 wildcard mask. Still true?

Thanks,
Paul
