I don't think there is an advantage of using one over the other.
Using :Timer¹ here are some non-representative statistics:
10000Timer exe 'let g:a.="foobar"'|let g:a=''
10000 rounds:   0.08 sec
    1 round :   8.08e-6 sec

10000Timer exe 'let g:a=g:a."foobar"'|let g:a=''
10000 rounds:   0.07 sec
    1 round :   7.41e-6 sec

Could be a nice addition.
