I agree with the former, with the beginning of the ROM being $0000, not $0010. The addresses mentioned should always reflect what is written in the code. In other words, write offsets as if they were from a real cartridge. On the other hand, my preference is just as subjective as anyone else's, it's just that I'm used to using the addresses contained in code, and add 0x10 in my head...
