Hi, suki~!

The answers to the questions you are asking should be determined through your own research. Just based on your formulation of the questions, you seem to already know a great deal about the topic. What remains for you is to go ahead and conduct your research.

I suggest that you investigate the processes that you listed and create some form of comparison table or matrix so that you can evaluate the pros and cons.

A web search should yield plenty of information to get you started.

Best wishes!
