I generally belay from the harness. Occasionally from the Anchor.

In most cases I like the extra flexibility to maneuver, take or provide slack usually that stuff is easier from my waist if the anchor is not perfectly positioned. I also like that it can provide an intermediate shock absorber for the anchor.

In some cases such as belaying a second, or where I might get slammed into something above or next to me in the case of a fall I would prefer to belay from the anchor.

Nothing about anchors and belaying is absolute you have to be flexible and able to adjust to the situation of course.
