Since you (hopefully) sanitize your input, no matter what source they
come from, I don't see any problems by using $_REQUEST.
Often I've found it helpful that both ways are available for use
through my scripts.

If however you really mean you will ONLY allow information submitted
through one of the methods, for whatever reason, then sure, limit it,
but I see no reason to do it always.
