I am not sure.
Conceptually, .png method is more flexible than imagemagick - it uses
`org-create-formula-image' that is handling (1) preamble; (2) conversion
not only to png but to svg and other arbitrary formats.
ob-latex is duplicating org-create-formula-image code, layering custom
latex preamble and more commands on top.
So, ideally, I'd prefer to obsolete the custom code in ob-latex and make
use of `org-create-formula-image', possibly extending it to fit ob-latex
needs.
