I prefer to register early. I see a lot of loose passive play early in tournaments. And if you know how to take advantage of that, you have an opportunity to build your stack up. If you know how to pick your spots, you can steadily increase your stack while others are bleeding chips, and you'll find yourself at a chip advantage as registration continues.
Coming in late and starting with a chip disadvantage doesn't allow that opportunity. Late registration forces you to use a riskier strategy. The later you register, the riskier you'll have to play as the blinds increase. That's not to say that I have never entered a tournament well into late registration and quickly built up a sizeable stack. But when I pick a spot to get my chips in good and end up losing, I don't feel like a gave myself the best chance to succeed by coming in late.
