Default Which is better: Weave or Overhead

Have a small garden with a single row of 14 tomatoes down one side. Accessible from the front only as the fencing is on the other side. For years, I've used tomato cages from Gardener's that I stack on top of each other. This year I want to try something different.

Option 1: would be a Florida weave using metal t-posts. I would run twine down the back side and then fill in the front as the plants grow.

Option 2: saw this hear and it is dropping twine from above and weaving the plant around the twine or the twine around the plant.

I grow mainly indeterminates. I don't typically prune. My plants usually grow up, over and down my cages so I would expect the same if I use the Weave method.

Any preference, pros/cons of either method? any helpful hints on someone coming from cages?

Thank you!
