I think the biggest question is what is heavier.

On a milling machine the head and all it's bits and pieces
is heavier than the workpiece, so you move the table.

On a big wood router the 10' by 5' piece of wood is heavier
than the head, so you move the head.

On a tabletop machine it's much of a muchness and you do whatever
you like. ;-)
