My question is: does anyone have a strong preference on which of these
we should use? If so, why?
It seems to me that the xrandr --dpi method would be better, especially
with laptops where the monitor plugged in varies. I already use xrandr in
my xinit to determine the resolution of an external monitor.
I remember doing the dpi calculations years ago, but it made the fonts
huge. So, I ended up lying to X setting the dpi to 72x72.
