I would personally lean towards doing it on-set with transparent bricks. It will probably end up looking better that way, and will fit in better with a brick world.
It depends on what style you're going for, though. If you want a more non-brick, realistic glass shatter effect, I'd probably do it in After Effects or Blender. AE has a pretty simple default glass breaking effect.

If the glass shattering would require too much masking that you were unwilling to complete, then some AE effects would work. Personally, if you can get the effect in camera, then get it in camera. I am not a fan of AE shattered glass in brickfilms, as the context makes no sense, if you have some transparent bricks, then try out the technique that I have made regarding glass shattering.
