No not really, It's all a matter of what you've learned.  By using the
"curl" method it is then easier to introduce the consept of rotation as
"curling" ones finger in the direction of rotation and having the thumb pint
along the correct axis.  It also helps in sphereical Coords to remember
which way theta rotates.  But really it's just a matter of preference.
