Isn't Stock-Sale (always) > Asset-Sale

Reading about asset- and share-deals, I frequently come across the formulation that an asset-deal is disadvantageous to the seller in case it plans liquidating the remaining assets to distribute them to its shareholders (i.e. because of double-taxation).

However, isn't an asset-deal always disadvantageous for the seller from a tax-perspective, as it has to pay a corporate tax upon the gain on sale?
