What is the best way to get the 'Request' object in the controller?

Question

I have seen the request object being passed to the controller action method as a parameter like this:

public function addAddressAction(Request $request)
{

As far as I know there's no difference. It doesn't interrupt affect much either way. Even if you want to specify required parameters in your action. E.g.

/**
 * @Route("/edit/{id}", name="edit")
 */
public function editAction(Request $request, $id)
{
    // Both $request and $id are available
}
