Default How-to question...

IMHO, the bifilar technique is more difficult and harder to
adjust.

Also, a bifilar winding used as a center-tapped coil will have
higher inter-winding capacitance and a lower self-resonant
frequency.

One thing to remember about toroids is that you can always take
all the wire off and start over.

Perhaps the best idea is to try all the methods and see
which works best for you.

You're welcome. Good luck.
