Which Approach is Better for Redirecting in Laravel: redirect()->route() vs Redirect::route()

I have two approaches for handling redirects in Laravel, and I'm trying to determine which is better in terms of ease and efficiency:

  1. Using the redirect() helper:

     return redirect()->route('admin.home');
    
  2. Using the Redirect facade:

     use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
     return Redirect::route('admin.home');
    

Which approach do you prefer and why? Are there any performance or stylistic considerations I should be aware of?

Thank you for your insights and assistance.

All the facade is doing, is resolving the same class out of the container. I find using the helper is better because it reduces the amount of imports required in your controllers.

I prefer

 return redirect(route('admin.home'));

But its just syntax, and what you prefer.

Also I suggest a read of the chapter covering facades.
