I guess you mean total prevention for receiving spam. Both methods that you list prevent an individual from seeing spam. They do not prevent spam from being sent and consuming bandwidth. If I don't see spam, does it mean it isn't there? :-) (if a tree falls in a forest ... sorry, I couldn't resist!) To get serious for a moment, I just wanted to make sure we are all talking about the same thing. To me, "preventing spam" means stopping spam before it happens, not stopping my individual receipt of spam. In more realistic terms, it means reduction, not total elimination.
