In my opinion...it depends on how you are going to use your pass, do you really want to show case your pass? I personally prefer side-steal, Coz it could work as a control or as a steal it self.
moving one card is easier than moving 52 cards. compare it with my side steal that i attached below perhaps you might interested on learning side steal also..
