This might depend upon what the site wants to do in the end. Disabling port 80 will help keep folks from popping in on http, it can be a bennie for sites open only to a chosen few. Redirects are good for sites open to all and pushing clients to the https aspect. So, it can depend upon what the sites requirements are.
