You can use either, $form->input if you specify a specific field from
the database then it can actually interpret what you are trying to get
at depending on what the field type is. You can set the name to
anything.
e($form->input('Model.field',array
('legend'=>false,'name'=>'test','type'=>'radio','options'=>array
('value1'=>'display1','value2'=>'display2'),'default'=>'value2')));
