The latter is probably better for longevity. I'd imagine the steel wool would rust away after a while.
I've had the Steel Wool myself now for going on almost 2 years, no visible signs of rust or wool falling out the back end. And no CEL's.

Headers myself, J bungs are attached, but I still wanted the comfort.
