Neither hard- nor sym- link makes a difference. At least in the case
of the symlink, vim has a hope of knowing where the destination
directory is, whereas with a hard link, it would have to scavenge the
file-system for other directories containing the same inode#.

That said, I tend to default to symlinks unless I have a compelling
reason to do otherwise. Fewer surprises when things cross
file-system boundaries.
