What you are used to is always initially the easiest but not necessarily 
the best.

PORT requires floppy transfers. The file size is limited to what will 
fit on the floppy. DSKINIs on the wrong machine can make the disk 
unreadable on the second. The files must be placed on the PC hard drive 
as an intermediate step. There is a good chance of giving incorrect 
attributes to the Coco file during the transfer.

Null modem transfers handle files larger than can fit on a floppy. There 
is less or no chance of assigning incorrect attributes. The files don't 
need to be saved in an intermediate step as a PC file. Corrupted 
floppies are not an issue nor finding the floppies to start with as they 
go the way of the dodo.
