I agree. Drops post-Daimon are better than drops pre-Daimon.

Note that Death will appear in the Bloodless Stockade, also, but that usually, like the Garden of Ignominy, Rancid Bait Meat is required for the summon. Moreover, like the Garden of Ignominy encounter, a Godsbane or other revert to a save file may be required to complete the summon.

So, the post-Daimon Bloodless Stockade loses one of the two main advantages over the pre-Daimon Stockade--automatic spawns. However, it retains the second advantage. You can defeat Death without Death detecting you.

The Garden of Ignominy's advantage is the shorter distance. It's just a few steps to the Duskmoon Tower exit. Also, although the Bloodless Stockade encounter is 'easier' it is also more monotonous and less interesting than the Garden of Ignominy encounter. So, people wanting more of a thrill should opt for the Garden of Ignominy.
