Hanging for me, at least you can reuse the rope.
Some people would beotch if hung with a new rope,. so your solution would nix that complaint. You also do not have to probe for a vein!
My understanding of legitimate hangings the rope was most times coated with an application of lard or grease to make it work more efficiently.
