Unloader mounting- pump or mount block

I have had a couple of people tell me it is better to mount the unloader to a mount block and not to the pump. Is there a reason for this or more of a personal preference. Getting ready to mount mine on a belt driven skid plate and have little to no room for block mounting. I bought the block thinking I was mounting it that way but now I wonder about just putting it on the pump.
 
Which unloader are you using Roy? I'd mount a VRT3-250 or Pulsar on the pump outlet, but not a K7...too heavy. Make sure to use a hydraulic nipple to mount too. A brass or schedule 40 nipple will snap off.
 
I have this on a Pressure Pro skid plate with a 19 horse kohler and a tsf2021 pump. Does anyone have any pics a skid plate with a similar setup so I can see how it is setup. I am just not sure that I can get the right angle for the hoses to clear everything.
