The setq version could have an advantage if you could arrange so that custom-file was just stored in this expression, not in the custom-file. Then the value of custom-file would just be in one place. That would perhaps be possible by changing the :set and :get functions in defcustom for custom-file. I would prefer this. - Lennart
