Each can be used on eash, sometimes it seems
to be practicality issues. Its easier to
have a roller and combs inside a sphere than
'in' a toroid.

All voltages (charges....) travel on the outside.

And they are, tho some are more commonly used each way.
And perhaps some other comments on the Tesla coil
specifics might be had...
