Taylor Warfield vs Victor Cheng’s Approach

Hi,

I’m a newbie to consulting and have been reading Taylor Warfields Hacking the Case Interview and also Victor Cheng’s Case Interview Secrets. Cheng’s book emphasizes having a hypothesis while Warfield’s book doesn’t mention anything related to that and suggests presenting a structured framework right after the introduction in a case interview. I was wondering which approach is technically better? I know that Warfields book is also more up to date. Thanks so much!
