Hello and welcome!
It's just like everything else, pros and cons.
If the vertical stud is furthest inside, it's better because the support points for the trusses come closer together. (But the difference is so small that it doesn't really matter.) It could also be better from an insulation standpoint if it goes further inside.
But it might certainly be easier from an assembly standpoint with it furthest out. For example, if you nail the stud frame together lying on the slab and then raise it.

Hello!
To be able to answer the question in the best way, one needs to know a little more about the rest of the construction, is the attic floor insulated or are you going to have insulation in the ceiling? Blow in loose fill or cut to size?
What type of roof is it?
What type of facade do you have?
Do you have it standing everywhere or are you referring to a beam change?
What effects does the wall plate have if it is on the edge, what to screw the plasterboard into?
And if it is on the inside, what to screw the facade into?
Which is easiest for your particular house?
As you understand, as the above mentions, both have pros and cons depending on a lot of factors.

Without knowing, I can guess that placing the stud on the outside was better in the past, at least in the past if you wanted to have electrical boxes, etc., above the windows (since a 45mm installation layer wasn't added). Insulation-wise, it shouldn't matter at all.
I know that many carpenters place double studs at the top instead of a standing one, so it will be interesting if there's any construction-technical explanation behind it. I've never heard of one, as most people go with what they have learned.
