Just to confuse matters, with some patches I just got in to beta7, the two are now roughly equivalent. It needs more testing, but if you run 'samba-tool domain join' then it will also populate the secrets.tdb that smbd/winbindd uses. However, for now I concur in your recommendation to use 'net ads join' as has always been done for smbd/winbindd configurations.
