[routerLink]="" VS href="javascript:void(0);"

If I want to add a dead link to an anchor tag because I want to use (click) instead then I can use either [routerLink]="" or href="javascript:void(0);". Both has the same effect and I see no difference in browser compatibility.

Which one is prefered to use? Is there any difference?

[routerLink]=""

What this line does it, It will redirect to your home route/root route, whereas

href="javascript:void(0);"

The void operator evaluates the given expression and then returns undefined.

Apart from this if you want to make it a as deadlink just pass event through the click event and use event.preventDefault() which will stop default action of anchor tag will execute what you want to do.
