Not necessarily since they are totally different types of ways to add files.

The Rebuilder takes every file (or file in an archive) it a given sourcefolder (or drag'n drop or addpaths), matches its checksums against the database and creates any instance of the match in the destination with the correct name.

Fixmissing is toggled when a rom is not found and looks into rompath(s), backup folder and addpaths if it finds the missing file there. The quick lookup is done by only looking at the correct setname (or clone/parent setname). So fixmissing most likely won't find the file if it got a completely different setname (unless you got an extra fixmissing option enabled which will check each file...but this will slow down the scanning process).

So the prefered method is to use the rebuilder to add files to the collection.
