If you want portability of editing on a laptop I'd suggest avoiding external hard drives altogether. Nowadays laptop hard drives are pretty big allowing videographers to work on the road. Of course depends on the scope of your projects, if they are not that huge, go with the laptop drive edit. Possibility of losing data because you accidentally moved the laptop pulling the USB cable of the external hard drive is much greater compared if it was hooked to a static workstation.
