Loctite® method allows the bearing cups to self align somewhat if you get the axle in before the thread lock cures. If your BB shell threads are properly concentric and faced square, it doesn't make any difference. Also, some crabon frames with bonded-in threaded inserts are a bit marginal if you apply 35-40Nm to them, it can break the glue holding the metal insert in the crabon shell.
