Note: This is not about preallocating variable in a loop. This is for general case.
For instance:
a(10,10) = 10; % the rest are filled with zeros
%or
a = zeros(10,10);
a(10,10) = 10;

In terms of speed, the 2nd option is 3.0 times faster on average (p<0.0001, Wilcoxon Signed Rank; 1 million individually timed iterations of the following 2 options).
a = []; % to reset a upon each loop
a(10,10) = 10;
% versus
a = []; % to reset a upon each loop
a = zeros(10,10);
a(10,10) = 10;
Declaring 'a' as zeros and then filling in the index (10,10) could also avoid other errors that option 1 may impose if 'a' is already a variable or function that exists.
Lastly, I think the 2nd option is more readable. Upon first glace of the first option, I'm wondering where 'a' came from.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the first option, but because it can cause confusion, you should add a comment there. It is also important to make sure that a doesn't exist before this executes.
