    Well as they are both equivalent and both very simple I would expect the compiler to reduce them to the same thing so neither is really better.

    Personally I feel the second has its advantages in that you can create several variables of one type in one line of code and then initialise them one after the other which for readable code is my preference. But if you only have one variable to initialise then the first is nice and concise as well.
