Default Which is better pup or tissue culture?

Hi! I would like to know which kind is the best way to grow bananas. Using either a pup/sword pup or tissue culture. I have read so many conflicting ideas about which is best. Some have said pups and others say tissue culture. Now I do know that pups grow up from the mother plant. The tissue culture is taking a corm and cutting it up into pieces and getting it to grow roots. Obviously tc will eventually turn into a proper tree! It’s also been said that tc are supposedly disease resistant but very slow to grow. Sword pups are the best on the other side of that argument. Personally I have decided to stick with pups. What do you think?
