Neither meets the specifications of NFPA 780....there cannot be a turn of more than 90 degrees nor a radius of turn less than 8 inches in the routing of the grounding cable. And I wouldn't have a system installed that didn't meet these specs.

But that's just my choice, some contractors feel the over, around or through the gutters route is okay. There sure are a lot of them installed that way...
