I'd put the lock through the seat stay simply because it looks more secure. If you lock just the rear wheel through the triangle then it looks like there's a way remove the frame even if the wheel is locked. The bike and/or components may be damaged by the time the thief has figured out that it's impossible to steal the bike with the wheel locked.
