Borrowed from iKIsR from different question:

Linking a material to Data (to mesh specific data) is ideal when you want a mesh to always have the same material, while linking a material to an object is when you want to have different materials on objects that share the same mesh.

Short explanation: If connected to the object, you can have several instances of the same Data using different materials. If linked to mesh data, you can't.
