First of all, and please correct me if I'm wrong you're talking for editing htaccess file right? In this case, just keep in mind that not all users know how to use such files, and most important, not all server configurations can use htaccess (eg win/iis). At least so easy as *nix servers.

Second, but this is just my opinion, I believe that anything outside the public area is "more" secure. Not that is totally secure, but it has a greater security level.

Thirda and last. I didn't wrote that my method is the best, or the only one available. I wrote something from my experiance as you did with yours. Sure should be other ways too.
