Is it more secure than a smallish island covered with workbenches? Nothing would even spawn there.

That being said, I always love building an underground base.

Having nothing spawn is probably more secure than the altar, where you'd still have things roaming outside your door.

But I consider both of those to be overkill because I usually just do a moat and wave at the mobs that run around and curse me for it. But I haven't had to worry about seeker raids yet. (They're easily avoided by basing in the meadows which I normally do anyway.)
