It depends where the content is coming from. If you are writing a new user guide, tutorial, or similar document and you already know FrameMaker, it's certainly going to be easier to start in FrameMaker and generate print and XML from there. On the other hand, if you're publishing content that lives in a database (or other content repository) or can be generated from an automated process, it may be much easier to start with XML and bring it into FrameMaker for "rendering." Really, once you have all the components in place (EDD, DTD, r/w rules, etc.), it's almost a 6-of-1/half-dozen-of-another question.
