Removing path name from list of file names

I have this piece of code

Code:
printf '%s\n' $pth*.msf | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -t '-' -k7 -k6r \
  | awk -F- '{c=($6$7!=p&&FNR!=1)?ORS:"";p=$6$7}{printf("%c%s\n",c,$0)}'

When I run it I get

Code:
/home/chrisd/tatsh/branches/terr0.50/darwin/n02-z30-dsr65-terr0.50-dc0.002-8x6drw-csq.msf
/home/chrisd/tatsh/branches/terr0.50/darwin/n02-z30-dsr65-terr0.50-dc0.004-8x6drw-csq.msf

Add:
Code:
... | sed 's/^.*\///'

Code:
sed 's:.*/::' yourlist

or
Code:
... | sed 's:.*/::'

What would be the advantage of using one or the other?

I understand

---------- Post updated at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:20 PM ----------

I am wondering what one would choose from the two commands below in a script,
especially when one is also using pipes and storing the result in variables.

Code:
echo /home/chrisd/tatsh/branches/terr0.50/darwin/*.msf

ls /home/chrisd/tatsh/branches/terr0.50/darwin/*.msf
