I've used the pressure bleeding method for many years. I won't say it is necessarily 'better' than the old method of using a helper to pump up the pedal...but it is faster. Just crack the bleeder screw and let the fluid flow into a catch bottle until fresh fluid is observed and no air bubbles. What could be simpler.
The greatest advantage is that it only requires one person. Yes, you might have to pump the pressure back up a time or two if you have a stubborn system, but for me...its the only way to go.
