It's only really a material consideration for situations where something wants to hit the spokes, usually the RD on road bikes and the front disc caliper especially on big wheels. In those cases, having the inbound spokes pulling and the spokes interlaced causes the last crossing to pull inboard, away from the interference hazard, under load. On wheels where nothing is in any real danger of crashing the spokes, there is no good reason to choose one way over the other.
