Actually, Tom, there's not much difference in effect - the denied packets 
will either be dropped when they try to enter the router or they'll be 
dropped when they try to leave the router. Either way the denied packets are 
dropped.
For example, let's say you need to block pings from users on the inside to 
all ip addresses on the outside and you have a 2 interface router where 1 
interface is a LAN interface on the inside and the other is a WAN interface 
connected to the outside.
Once you create your access-list, you need to apply it to an interface.  If 
you apply it to your LAN interface,  the pings will get dropped at the LAN 
interface before being processed by the router's cpu, before a table lookup 
is done and before the packets are switched to the WAN interface.  As a 
result, you save a bit of router resources.
If, however, you apply the access-lilst to the outside WAN interface, all 
those things get done only for the packet to be dropped at the WAN interface 
- a waste of a bit router resource.
