It's ALOT easier to keep track of yourself on the field and know where you want to go with 2 different types of feedback.
What's easier:
- Keeping track of how far each side has travelled, their rates of motion, and calculating that out to find where you are, which would absolutely require a double feedback loop to acount for motor bias..
- Combining both and having not only a magnitude of travel, but also a direction to go along with it. This makes field position as easy as SohCahToa (how I hate basic algerba acronyms...) and vector addition.
I guess it's up to you though... Think about it.
