I don't know. I doubt it makes much of a difference. If one fails, you
can try the other. Though, the RPi is much faster.

Better than what?

Sigh, I guess I can.
Programmer SPI Flash
/CS ------------ /CS
MISO ---50-Ohm--- MISO
GND ------------ GND
MOSI ------------ MOSI
CLK ------------ CLK
VCC ------------ VCC
\
`-10kOhm--- /WP
\
`-10kOhm- /HOLD
This is about the minimum setup I'd use for a plain (unsoldered)
chip. Resistor ratings may vary.
