Hm... preferable in what sense?

.emacs will be evaluated when Emacs initializes upon normal
invocation but as far as the configuration goes, it doesn't
matter where you put it or in what way you evaluate it.

If you want to have it somewhere else, for practical or modular
reasons (e.g., one file for each thing you configure/extend),
in .emacs you can just `push' the path(s) where it/they are to
`load-path' and then use `load-file' to get it in effect.
