Alter tablespace is a better option wherby you can do it while database is up and only that particular tablespace is offline. OEM does the same thing. You can use it for any tablespace except SYSTEM tablespace which you cannot put offline.
For 'Alter database' you need down time as database cannot be open and it is to be used to change any SYSTEM tbs datafile. Both does the samething with different situations.

Many ways to skin a cat. I personally have gotten used to using OEM and letting it issue the command. I think they both would work.
