Circuit A does not compensate for the DC voltage drop across the
current-limit resistor because it is outside the feedback loop. However,
it's high frequency stability is excellent because the op-amp output is
decoupled from any load capacitance by the resistor.
Circuit B compensates for the DC voltage drop across the current-limiting
resistor due to load current. The only problem with it is that any load
capacitance, e.g. capacitance from driving a long cable degrades the phase
margin of the op-amp and is likely to make it oscillate.
The best solution is one that combines the advantages of both schematics.
