Either approach is not mutually exclusive. I believe there are a few
orthogonal questions to consider:
1.) Do you want your noise for a prototype spewed out to all the other
committers in the central repo, maybe you do / maybe you don't, it depends
on the type of project your working on. If you don't want to share all
that noise, fork and only send back your prototype when ready.
2.) Do you not want to be concerned with catching up on others changes in
the master (i.e. rebasing), (maybe you do, maybe you don't), if you don't
want this concern maybe a branch in the central repo is best.
3.) Finally and Possibly most important. How long lived is your branch
going to need to be. Is this a short project or a very long project. The
Git approach promotes short lived branches, you do your work, prove it
works, and merge back to master, throw away the branch. This applies for
both cases.
