If the graph is small, it will not make much difference.  It normally
makes most difference when you have cache effects, or want to limit
recursion depth, or want to avoid more advanced data structures, or have
trees/graphs of a particular shape, or know a bit about where you are
most likely to find a result.  None of that typically matters for a
small graph - use whatever makes it easier to write correct and clear code.
