You will get straightlined by the runner if you work this play on the outside WAY more than you'll get straightlined by the fielder when working inside. You'll also, even when not straightlined, get blocked by the runner's sliding body, and lose sight of the actual tag, if you work outside.

Inside gives you a view of the ball, and 99% of the time the fielder, the glove, and the runner.
