Just to add a few further notes related to posting - these settings only apply to batch posting. If you allow transaction posting at the sub-ledger, there will be a financial batch created.
Also, if you are using Analytical Accounting there are certain functions (manual cheques is one) that don't allow you to mark Post Through - this is in case you want AA dimensions against the AP control account.
Frank's explanation is correct as to behaviour.
Which is "better" entirely depends on how you operate. I have some clients, typically the larger ones, who have a separation of duties between those who work on PM and RM and those on the GL and they have only Post To enabled; this gives their management accountants final control over what posts where on the GL.
Smaller organisations tend not to have this separation of duties so are set to Post Through.
Nothing more valuable to add up, keep in mind that posting through GL is definitely considered for a better control of the financial transactions. With a posting option of (Post To), the batches on the GL are prone to modifications or even deletion, which may cause a variance between the module and the GL
I would highly recommend consulting your partner in such phase, such posting options can dramatically affect your data
Let us know if you have any further inquiries,
'Post To' creates a financial batch that must be posted separately after the module batch posted (AP, AR, Inventory, etc). 'Post Through' posts directly to the general ledger, without the intermediate financial batch created.
