I didn't even know this was a thing, but can't say I've ever preferred an escape style. I actually use backslashes a fair bit, usually just with spaces. I tend to reserve double quotes for variable or shell expansion, explicitly.
It's not so much about a preference, but your cursor would jump about and you'd need to be on the lookout if you wanted to edit the completion (eg. to change the extension).
