If the answer is that they can be both, what are the advantages of every approach?

Thanks in advance

Not all of them are on Ethereum.

Here's a count of the number of tokens - each potentially having had its own ICO - on different parent platforms (according to CoinMarketCap as of 19 Feb 2018):

Some of them have their own blockchain, or claim that they will move to their own blockchain at some point in the future. You'll have to investigate specific cases to work out what their strategy is.

If the answer is that they can be both, what are the advantages of every approach?

Different people will have different opinions on this part.
