Is it more adequate to create a material in Maya or UDK?

Is it more adequate to create a material in a 3d program (like Maya using the hypershade) or in a game engine (like UDK material editor) for games?

I mostly use UDK material editor but recently I been struggling with this dilemma. I know that this question is a little basic but it would help me out a lot if someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you and I greatly appreciate your help and contribution.

If it is meant for Unreal, then use Unreal for sure. Else it needs to be converted/some things won't port correctly.

create it in UDK, also it is often quicker to make a material with all the features you want, than instance it with differnt textures for differnt models

Yeah, theres really no point to making a material in Maya if the end result is going to be in UDK
