I've come across two ways to sweep pick a barre chord shape and I'm confused which to use.

There's the rolling technique where you use the one finger to play across several strings by arching it and rolling it.

|--15p12-------------12-15~--|
|-----------12-----12------------|
|---------------12-----------------|

Or you can use different fingers, which gets cramped and a bit harder to do than rolling but the notes don't sound as sloppy.

Sorry about the the tab in a proportional font but I tried to get it to work.

What should I do?
