Reverse sear versus hottub?

Which do you prefer? I'll be cooking ribeyes; I tried a reverse sear last time, was thinking about trying the hot tub thing this time.
Question about the hot tub thing, though: Do most people put a pot on the stove and keep it at 100 degrees, or just repeatedly put hot water into a sink or something like that?

mentsmin,
I used to fill the sink with hot tap water and a pot with 100* water and put the pot in the sink. If the pot water dropped I would add hot to the sink. Then I found I could control below 100* on the induction top. Be tough to do with gas or electric I would think

Ahh, good point. I didn't think of that. Hmmm, I'm cooking for four, I'd hate to screw them up!
Any suggestions for temperature/timing for a reverse sear? My guests are always happy but I'm constantly overcooking my own steak (I prefer mid-rare). -
I would use the pot in the sink if I were you and try the stove later

If the ribeye is 1" or thicker, I prefer a reverse sear. If it is thinner, I don't really have a preference between the two methods.Knoxville, TN

They are thicker.
When you reverse-sear, what egg temp do you aim for and how long do you leave them on?
