Which method is better to drop all user connections before a restore Change to single user mode or Take offline the database?

When we restore a database from prod to dev which method is better to disconnect other connection accessing the database? I am on SQL Server 2008r2

1. Change to Single user mode

use masterGoALTER DATABASE MyDB SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE Go RESTORE DATABASE [MyDB] FROM  DISK = N'D:\Restore_Backup\Restore_05042015\DB.bak'WITH  FILE = 1,  MOVE N'DB'TO N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDB.mdf',  MOVE DB_log'TO N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDB_log.ldf',  NOUNLOAD,  REPLACE,  STATS = 10GOALTER DATABASE MyDB SET MULTI_USER Go

2. Take offline the database and restore database

USE masterGOALTER DATABASE MyDBSET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATEGORESTORE DATABASE [MyDB] FROM  DISK = N'D:\Restore_Backup\Restore_05042015\DB.bak'WITH  FILE = 1,  MOVE N'DB'TO N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDB.mdf',  MOVE DB_log'TO N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDB_log.ldf',  NOUNLOAD,  REPLACE,  STATS = 10GOALTER DATABASE MyDBSET OFFLINE GO

Which method would assure I will be the only user so I can do the restoration without a problem?
