Not really, use whichever you like.
Using the file is faster, but speed doesn't really matter, since you only run it once or twice a day. Because IMAP is slighter slower, it may offer a slight advantage by buffering the queries to match email addresses to members. But the differences are slight. IMAP is particularly useful to those who run multiple servers, where the mail server is remote, and the file spool would be inaccessable.
