The separation of concerns approach suggested in ASP.NET MVC 4 How do you serve different HTML based on Role? in my opinion is a better way to go.

Personally I avoid IsInRole check as much as possible in the code and leave it to declarative means to achieve role based restriction as much as possible. This ensures code remains maintainable over time. I am not sure if this is a right or the wrong approach, but has worked well for me.
