I don't think personal taste applies here, really.
One method gives you more informations with less typing,
the other gives you less informations with more typing.

Examples, for those who may be unaware, follow.

"check API":
        // output will tell you real value of 'a' if != 40
        check_equals(a, 40);

"raw API":
        if ( a == 40 ) {
                pass("some success message here");
        } else {
                fail("some success message here");
        }
