I think empiricism would be the way to find out what works best for your
data.  I'd guess that if you can achieve a nice segmentation of the EPI,
then you are probably better off estimating the alignment based on these
data.  What works best is likely to depend quite a lot on whether your EPI
are spatially distorted.  If the are distorted, then (rigid-body) aligning
them with a structural scan is unlikely to work well.
