Default Nitro Engine Break In

hi all!
theres 2 main engine break in procedures i have been hearing of and i want to know from you guys which is best.

Idle break in? i heard its the old skool method and that it actually does harm to engines and makes them have a shorter life span. true?

heat cycling break in? i heard that its currently the best to date method of breaking in and ensures a longer lasting engine with more power. true?

alot of people i know use both methods and have had no problems and find their vehicles to be excellent and long lasting. but i want to hear from others to find out which method comes out on top.

as i am going to get a TNX 5.2R i really would like to get the most out of the engine and to keep it running strong for months to come.

thanks,
george
