It depends on the application, if you are speaking generally.
If you meant for applications where the bolt and nut are both present, and specific torque specifications are required, it really doesn't matter. Whichever is best accessible by the torque wrench. The only stipulation is that whichever item the torque wrench is not being used on, must be static (unable to turn). For example, if you are torquing the nut, the bolt must not be able to turn (held in place with a wrench, if necessary) while the torque wrench is being read, for a reading to be accurate.
