There is an advantage when the referred to section isn't the first section in the docs:

"Using ref is advised over standard reStructuredText links to sections (like `Section title`_)
because it works across files, when section headings are changed, and for all builders 
that support cross-references."
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/inline.html#cross-referencing-anything

However, that isn't the case here. So it would be better to use :doc:.
