Opinion on Method of Restringing a Classical Guitar?

Websites such as the one linked below usually give the “twisted” (my term) method for securing classical guitar strings to the bridge, but this website recommends the “knot” method with plastic gaskets or beads. As this knot method seems easier and this is both my first guitar and my first restringing of anything, I’d rather do it that way. But, I’d like to know what the lovely guitar experts here think…is it worth doing the harder way, or will knotting the strings suffice for a very, very beginner?

two methods outlined:

Either will work for you now. Personally, I prefer the “twisted” (good term!) method. If your knot ever slips…. EEEK!!!

Best option, try both.
