Is there any reason not to do it that way? Before I did the skew, I lined up the top left corner and moved the crosshairs to that corner. Is there any reason not to do it that way?

To do that with gradients, you'd have to adjust the gradient of each and every single object and you'd have to make them all match properly. With masking, you can just group the objects and fade them to transparent with a single operation. So you can make reflections of very complicated objects very easily.

Draw a large rectangle, color it differently than your background and slide it under your reflection and see what happens. A mask will blend into any background color where a gradient will not.

There are some differences in results? I tried both method and I did not find differences.
