In a docu some weeks ago some Ukranians tank hunter team explained they both have their niche. The stigma allows the operator to stay out of harm's way so it is favored in higher risk situations, while if they can get into position with a javelin the kill rate is higher and they can kill larger targets. They also used an AT mine dropping baba yaga for night operations when the Russians where encamped.
