Well, as my understanding goes, the only difference is that with the first
form the option "ngerman" is only received by the "babel" package while with
the second it will actually be applied by any package in which it is
defined, which may, after all, be what is (subconsciously) desired.

Loading both is simply superfluous and certainly won't lead to problems.
