The thing about git is that it's basically plumbing all the way down. In this case: switch abstracts over checkout, which abstracts over read-tree & checkout-index. The nesting doll just keeps going.
Because switch is built on top of checkout, there's no functional difference between the output of the two subcommands when used for the same purpose (assuming the presence of a skilled operator). It's strictly a matter of ergonomics and abstraction.
At the end of the day, as long as you don't fuck up, just do whatever best keeps you in your flow state.
