Best practice create new doc via API?

I see that to create new doc on remote server can be achieved via 2 ways:

  • using REST POST to directly create a new doc on remote.
  • using RPC POST to trigger a method on remote that runs frappe.new_doc(doctype-name).

I’m not a developer so I have these questions:

  • which one is considered best practice?
  • which is more efficient, safe, etc?
  • if both ways are the same, when to use each?

Thank you.
