Have done both methods and much prefer the extractor. Easier, cleaner, no time difference between methods, and don't have to replace the plug. As mentioned, it is a good idea to change the plug every once in a while in case the o-ring swells or wears and starts to leak, but otherwise it's just fine. Many will argue the extractor doesnt get everything out but you also don't get everything out unless you let the car sit with the plug out for hours to get the last drops. The minuscule amount of oil left after extraction is not an issue.
