Bulk priming is probably better than individually priming each bottle.
Individual bottling can cause problems. First there can be variation in the
measurement. Accidentally skipping a bottle is not a real problem except
the the beer in that bottle will be flat and there isa good chance that the
missing sugar will be noticed. The real problem is double dosing a bottle.
It is less likely to be caught and can cause the bottle to blow up.

In bulk priming the sugar is dissolved in a little water and poured into
bucket. The beer is then racked on top of the sugar mixing it in very
evenly. The bottles are then filled. If the mixing was through, each
bottle should have the same prime rate and none will be flat or be over
primed.
