++i; is in every way equivalent, including the value that is ignored
of the expression in the expression-statement.  I know of no skilled
C programmer who writes i += 1 under normal circumstances, as ++i is
more directly expressive of the notion.

This doesn't matter a whole lot, other than that students of the
language should try to adopt an idiomatic style that fits into
established practice, to improve communication with co-workers.
