init variables when declared or use initializer lists?

WRT Unreal C++ is there any compile time or performance benefit to using initializer lists compared to initializing where declared?

Initalize when declared:



// declared and initialized in .h file
UPROPERTY(EditInstanceOnly)
class UStaticMeshComponent* _bodyComponent = nullptr;

// class body in .cpp file
AGenericGauge::AGenericGauge()
{

}

Initializer lists.



// declared in .h file
UPROPERTY(EditInstanceOnly)
class UStaticMeshComponent* _bodyComponent;

// initialized in .cpp file
AGenericGauge::AGenericGauge() :
    _bodyComponent(nullptr)
{

}

Would be cool if anyone knows any info Epic has published about it. The first is nicer to maintain because all in one place. So is there a benefit to the other way?
