Either way should work, clamping to the workpiece directly or to the steel table-- unless the workpiece itself is not getting good contact with the table. I think a jumper would add to the clutter, introduce new variables (ampacity? good connections?) that might even reduce amperage. Also, that mystery (to me, anyway), arc blow, can be a problem if your ground is too close to the stinger.
