Either should work. I actually use aircraft safety wire instead. I use a 12 volt battery charger for power and have a wire that I move up and down the 5 foot bow to regulate the heat in the wire. Takes some practice, but you can regulate it to get perfect cuts. Did this for both models and full scale with a home made bow. Works fine.
