I just did burgers indoors, Smashburger style, because the weather called for rain. I seldom do them that way unless I use my Blackstone. I really miss that method and I think I prefer them that way. How do you like yours?
 
I don't really have a "grill" so most of the time they are on my yard sale cast Lodge cast iron griddle inside.
 
I had to vote for "It doesn't matter..." because I started with direct grilled burgers. Then moved to indirect burgers, seared at the end. Next was smash burgers on a griddle. And new to me are sous vide burgers seared on a griddle.

I rarely fry my burgers. When I do I use a cast iron skillet for frying. My go to method is using a Kettle with the indirect method. Burgers that are 80% lean that weigh 180g (6.3 oz) are rubbed and cooked 15 minutes on one side, flipped and ten minutes later I check the internal temp and if it hits 160F, it is done! Lately I have been using my 18" WSM for cooking burgers and I do not use the waterpan. Same method and cooking time as on the Kettle.
 
Used to be a die hard burger griller, but once I tried them on a HOT griddle, I've not looked back. I love the crust I get from using the griddle, which isn't possible on a grill. I will concede that a properly grilled burger has a wonderful smoke flavor, but I simply prefer the crust.

Guess it depends on what you like. Flattop burgers are fine. I prefer burgers with grill marks, where only part of the burger gets crispy.
 
Either one is fine. Although it's either on the Joe or the gasser since I got rid of the Blackstone. Was way too messy.
