Certainly the former.  If you use the second version, all three moint-
points will be "local".  In the first version, the second (src) and
third mountpoints will be "inherited".

So if you one day decide that you have seen the light and want to con-
vert to The One True local Mountpoint as Our Lord Intended It, you can
just change the first mount point to /opt/local, and the rest will
automatically inherit the new setting.
