Of course I prefere the first line but these two cases are different.
I wonder if a builtin method will not cause more problems instead of 
avoiding them.

What I mean is what is the expected behaviour in this case?

Object.prototype.propertyIsEnumerable("length", false);
// some stuff ... and then ...  
Object.prototype.propertyIsEnumerable("length", true);


I think Object.prototype is the perfect case scenario where this built in 
method could cause more chaos than ever, while the dontenum in declaration 
makes sense specially when I write my own object and/or prototoype and I would 
like that no one will be able to change my not enumerable property. So I guess 
built in method is error/conflicts/problems prone while the first one is quite 
safer (and at the same time, I do like to know if others add some 
Object.prototype, both to avoid conflicts, problems, and errors)

These are only my 5 cents to this interesting discussion.

Kind Regards
