In page RSS buttons provide an important function beyond simply telling the end user that RSS is available. Some users do not use an automated RSS feed reader which captures feeds from all sites they visit rather they manually choose which sites feeds they want to look at. The best option is to have both the rel=alternate tag as well as the RSS button. The rel=alternate can be used by automatic feed aggregators but the button can be used by end users who use a local feed program such as Outlook as they can click on the feed link and it will open and add the feed to their feed reading program.
