The best practice is whatever works for your user management workflows. You can create it either way. In a hybrid you can move mailboxes back and forth whether they were created on-prem or in the cloud.
One caveat with New-RemoteMailbox is that it can't do Shared mailboxes. Those you need to create on-prem and then move, or, create in EXO as a user mailbox and then convert to Shared. Either way, same result.
Have you looked at using New-RemoteMailbox or Enable-RemoteMailbox?
Yes i know that will work and it will create only a remote mailbox for a user. But the question is what is the best practice for creating a user with mailbox in a hybrid environment so the mailbox will be in O365 exchange online.
