there is a difference between these approaches, which makes me favour
the first even though it is slightly harder..

  I'm not sure there's any practical consequence from the second  
approach,
but having www as a CNAME means www inherits all the records for the
domain itself, including SOA, NS records and perhaps MX, etc
