I would like a slightly larger platform as I plan to load my 18LB dog in it 95% of the time with groceries taking up the other 5%. I did also email Porter Cycles to see if they were interested in the project. The Crust fork is definitely more straightforward though.
You nailed the primary difference, the load attached to the frame or fork. It can make a difference, depending on how you ride and what you carry. If your pooch moves around a bunch then the rack being attached to the frame could make more sense. The crust fork allows you to add a larger platform. Here is a decent write up and photos (with dog) about the crust option.
