Anchor recess vs. pulpit/roller

I'm curious to know what the advantages or disadvantages are to having an anchor recess on either the port, starboard or both sides of the bow vs. having an anchor roller/pulpit setup? I do realize that having an anchor recess on a smaller vessel may not be physically possible so my question is referring to a boat large enough to accommodate it. Is it more of an aesthetics issue or is there some practicality involved for favoring one over the other?

Below is an example of a vessel with an anchor recess... (actually it has two, one port and one starboard)



And here is the anchor roller/pulpit setup...
