That is a debatable question. If you have a lot of income when you purchase items, it might be better to take the deduction up front.
If income is constant, and you want to have a deduction against the income in the future, then electing to depreciate over time might be better.
It depends on financial status, income stream, do you want a big deduction now, or have some deduction(s) in the future.
