and or avoid the proximity effect??

Proximity effect isn't a factor unless conductors are very close
together -- I suggest you review the previous postings which explain it.
As far as "better", the answer is that it probably doesn't matter, since
either a wire or strap can usually be pretty easily made large enough to
make loss negligible in those applications.

Proximity effect is when you are too close to a directional microphone
and the bass is accentuated. I think you mean mutual coupling.
