Preferred branch connection, in or out of header pipe?

Too many variables to answer that question. You'll need to provide more details for a better answer.

depends on size of branch/header, material, wall thickness. Need more details. Preferred? Does that mean ease of installation, fabrication, or best design practice?

Best design practice. ASME B31.8 shows either option without explanation. ANSI 150 4" std pipe branch on or in 8" std pipe header.

Most common for this case would be a Reducing Tee. Could also use a straight tee with a reducer on the branch.
