On personal experience, I'd say the card reader is better. I have a Canon A540 camera, but I also have a built in SD card reader (the right kind) built into my laptop. Strangely enough there's another on my printer. I don't trust the Canon's USB cable (small, delicate connector on the camera end), though I've actually used the cable a few times.
I do have to be careful taking the SD card out of the camera, since the card goes into a socket next to the batteries, and the same somewhat flimsy door covers both the batteries and the SD card.
