I believe there is no best way to ascend or descend... There is however a worst way and that's descending without the use of rope...

Everyone has his primary reasons as to why he uses a certain tech. Far experienced climbers whom are in good condition are footlocking on double rope because it's fast, other older climbers find that too much of hard work and go for mechanical advantage.
