Suppose the tip commit of my branch contains changes to multiple
files. If I want to revert all changes in one file from that commit, I
have two options that I know of:

$ git reset @^ -- foo.txt
$ git commit --amend --no-edit
$ git checkout -- foo.txt

Or:

$ git checkout @^ -- foo.txt
$ git commit --amend --no-edit

For simpler steps, I normally use the latter option. However, is there
value in the former option (using reset)? When would you use one or
the other?

Disclaimer: I just typed up the above commands, I might have some
details wrong, but hopefully you get the gist of it.

Thanks in advance.
