Table Talk - Development

So, there are two ways, it seems, to do this poison bit thingie of Guiverna's.

The MuAq above, and the PeCo in her Development thread. This could very well be a "more than one way to skin a cat" scenario, but I can where both ways are effective.

So: straw poll time. Which one do you think is better under the circumstances. Not really "which one is more cost-effective", but more "which one comes closer to doing what it's intended to do?
