waterfarm or 2 gallon bucket dwc for autoflower

I wanna grow 1 autoflower inside a 31x31x60 tent.
I have a GH waterfarm or a 2 gallon bucket dwc I can choose from.
Which one would you you choose?

Another question I have is, would I wanna sit the waterfarm or bucket on a seedling heat mat to keep the water warm since its starting to cold here now?

I have grown autos in coco my last grow and got almost 1 1/2oz.
The strain was white widow max autoflower.

So I just wanna try new way to grow this time.

Only question I can answer is do not use a heating mat for dwc lol you want you water temps about 65. Bad stuff likes to grow more when Rez temps get above 70-75

Dwc is the way to go for bigger autos but firstly get a bigger bucket.
I use a 5 gallon.
Autos in soil grow a Christmas tree shape, in Dwc they grow like photos.
you can use heat mats or even a submersible heater if your water temps are cold below 17c.
That is your minimum temp, max temp is 21c. Low temps can cause slow growth and stunting.
High temps can cause root rot and bad bacteria to grow which will result in an algae bloom.
If you mix your nutes a day before you need them and leave the bucket indoors it should reach room temp around 16-18c.
Also if your bucket is black this absorbs some heat in the grow room so don't worry too much about this. It's easier to add heat to water to add a couple degrees, but it's harder to cool it down if it's too hot.
E.g summer.
You could also help to rectify warm water temps by using cannazym, this is a good bacteria that stops and prevents root rot, algae etc
You can add this to your Res without fluctuating the ppm and it has no effect on harvest,
