180's Twist vs Rotate

There are two different ways to do a 180, and there are pro's and con's to each. You can rotate a 180,  where you wind yourself up, then rotate your body in the direction you want to spin. Or Twist a 180,  where you face the direction you want to spin, then pop and twist your legs and board beneath you. So which is better and why? If you want to 180 onto a box and keep spinning once your on, then you wan to rotate. When your doing a 180 onto a rail you probably want to twist, because it stops your spin. You can twist a 180 allot quicker than you can rotate as well. Twist a 180 off small jumps and side hits. On a big jump rotate your 180 around slowly for style. Twisting a 180 stops you from going past 180 degrees so if you want to spin 360's and beyond then you should be practising rotating your 180's. Which do you prefer?
