We've used both with no problems...been doing this for over a decade now...zero issues. AND, we do it a lot. Our last round of testing for the development of the NexGen Shocks had us jacking up the TG well over 100 times....probably closer to 300 times.
The front crossmember is closer to the frame right angle, and there is less leverage on the frame. The rear crossmember has a VERY HEAVY solid bar of steel sitting in the crossmember channel, giving it some serious extra rigidity. The whole frame is over engineered and strong...either one is fine.

I have a hitch on my trike so I came up with this. The bar sits about an eighth of an inch below the mounting brackets so I had to add the shims(?) Notice how the jack is off center. That keeps the load centered so it lifts level. It does teeter while up so if doing ANY work you have to use jack stands as soon as its where you want it.
I've been using the J&S trike lift since 2015
