The difference between the approaches is as follows With generation from seed we take a secret s and then generate K(s) which requires the generation of the key to be completely standardized. With encryption of the private key we generate and dispose of a random number p and use it as a seed, generate K(p) and then archive an encrypted version under symmetric key s. I prefer the second reason because it can be applied to any public key algorithm and does not require a specific generation approach. Now admittedly when we get to ECC algorithms, generation is not exactly complicated.
