USB 3.0 hard drive or thunderbolt drive for installing Window 10 on external drive

[Haswell]

I am looking to install Windows 10 on external drive, and I am wondering what's more compatible (aka less headaches) an SSD in a USB 3.0 enclosure or an SSD in a thunderbolt enclosure?

According to this guide, a TB drive will save you a few steps.

i prefer thunderbolt. supports TRIM on ssds and frees up your usb port

Without doubt a TB drive. Some (not all) USB drives are an absolute pig to get working with Windows. I went through a Seagate and WD before giving up and moving across to TB.
