RedirectToAction to same controller

In My Asp.net MVC code, I sometimes write 

return RedirectToAction("Manage", "User", new {Area = "Users", id = userId});

and sometimes 

return RedirectToAction("Manage", new {id = userId});

Which is the best method to use if I am in the same User controller ?

Are there any pros and cons ? I personally like the 2nd one as the routing takes care of the current controller and current area.

Neither one of them is better than the other if the action is on the same controller.

Overloaded methods exist to cover diverse needs. RedirectToAction("ActionName", "ControllerName") exists to allow you to navigate to another controller.

In the same controller you should use the second one, simply because it's shorter. Behind the scenes both of them wil use RouteValuesHelpers.MergeRouteValues.
