We use both types of spacers. There isn't an inherent problem with either design provided that they are built correctly and torqued properly to the hub and the wheel. Obviously if your bolts are loose, you're going to have problems with or without spacers.
As a typical rule of thumb you use bolt through up to 20mm and bolt-on for more than 20mm.
Also remember that anytime you've retorqued the wheel bolts and especially when using wheel spacers that you need to re-torque all bolts again within 50 miles. With wheel spacers I do recommend that you retorque everything several times in the beginning to be sure that all the surfaces are flush, all parts are mounted correctly and that the bolts are retorqued and everything has settled.
