Depends what criteria you want to use, to decide whether to show those
links in the menu or not.

In general, you should try to use the most relevant security check (e.g.
if it's a link to some module admin function, use the security check for
that module function), so that if later you re-organise the privileges
for your site (e.g. with sub-admins for certain module functions), the
links will still be shown to the right people.

But if checking for AdminPanel privileges is close enough to what you
want, that's fine too :-)
