Should ridge tiles be cemented on?

Is there something more modern that roofers are using when fixing ridge tiles?

"You can lay ridges on a cement bed with a mechanical fixing and you can also lay them with a dry ridge system with fixings in-between each ridge holding them in position."

"You can either have them cemented or dry ridge system where it's mechanical fix with brackets either end of the ridge tiles which are a better system as there maintenance free"
