No question that would be easiest and quickest and gentlest on the guitar. I like the idea of having both available if possible, though.
Are endpin jacks through the sidewall still done? I remember seeing those on a few guitars a couple decades back when I was in college but I can't recall anything other than jacks through the tailstock more recently. Which (assuming that vastly unscientific survey of what I think I remember is accurate) makes me think that running the jack through the thinner wood caused problems.
