It really depends on what you want to express, do you want to describe that the events are mutually intersection free,
i , j : 1 i < j n A i A j =
if you want to express that the sets (events) are indeed mutually independent to some probability measure, then you might be better off with
i , j : A i i j A j
Keep in mind, that both statements are not equivalent.
