Whether or not the UX is better, from a security standpoint I choose the web version because of browser sandboxing unless I'm forced to use the app. If I'm forced to use the app, I probably choose not to use the service.

Ironically applications are far more secure running in the OS sandbox than the browser if you're on Android or iOS.
