The other way is to create expressions, which don't have to be note- attached.

Either way works fine.

Well, they work somewhat differently. The fermata as an expression doesn't necessarily break a multimeasure rest in the correct way, say if you have a multimeasure rest before AND after the fermata measure. Also, if you have set the fermata to be placed centred between the barlines, this will make it too far left if this measure is the first in a system.

My preference is to attach the fermata articulation to a real whole rest. It generally needs to be nudged a bit (hit right arrow a few times) as it is not correctly centred on rests. But there are no future adjustments necessary, which is important to me.

The caesura as an expression works nicely, though, if the fermata is already there, because you can set it to attach to the right barline shifted left a cm or so.
