Either one should work, just be aware that make_hole.pl was designed for an
older version of Gromacs (3.1? 3.2?), and I believe some difficulties have been
reported when using it with Gromacs version 3.3.x.

To use genbox is trivial; orient your protein appropriately and use your POPC
structure as -cs input.  There have been lots of discussion about how to do
this and the problems people have faced.  No doubt you have seen these, since
you have been searching the archive :-)
