Use of "le"

Hello.  I'm a bit confused on the optional placements of "le" in sentences.  For example, if i want to say "I don't want to ask my brother for money".  Would both sentences below be correct?  And if so, is one construction more commonly used in Mexico and Latin America?  

No le quiero pedir dinero a mi hermano vs. No quiero pedirle dinero a mi hermano. 

Thank you!
