Lighter is way better in my mind because it blends better, and doesn't make the objects look so separated/like they're in different layers. It looks like it's all one scene in colours/lighter, where as the black makes it look very anime-ish/cut and paste.
The lighter outlines look better to me as it doesn't make everything look so separate and plopped on right over the thing behind it. The lighter outlines give it a smoother and more realistic look.

Left is practical
Right could be more unique sets.
