Hi

I am making the move from cake 2.x to 3.x

I am starting a new project so figured this a good time.  I have been 
reading the book alot and its starting to make more sense.

I have been playing with different ways of retrieving my data and am a 
little confused as to the best practice method for retrieving data.

Coming from cake 2.0 This method is familiar to me:

// In a controller or table method.$query = $articles->find('all', [
    'conditions' => ['Articles.created >' => new DateTime('-10 days')],
    'contain' => ['Authors', 'Comments'],
    'limit' => 10]);

However, cake 3.0 seems to use this method as well

$query = $articles->find('all')
    ->where(['Articles.created >' => new DateTime('-10 days')])
    ->contain(['Comments', 'Authors'])
    ->limit(10);

Is one "better" than the other?

Another quick question is how do I quickly identify if the above queries 
did not retrieve any data?  I used to check for an empty array on the 
returned results.  

Many Thanks!

Aaron
