Its best to ban only the IPs used by the spammer.

Now  a  days  ISPs  are  requiring  justifying IP allocations, they're less
likely to hand out a /24 just because you want one.

If  you  arbitrarily  block  a  /24  without  researching how much of it is
actually  controlled by the spammer you run the risk of blocking legitimate
servers.
