Both systems can be made to work.

The header tank system requires that the radiator has a small take off point high up to allow the air to escape. This is a drawback as some coolant will also take this route and thus bypass the rad.
It also requires a low take off point the the tank uses to keep the system topped up.

I'd stick with what you've got for the moment until you have exhausted all the possible solutions.
