Your first approach doesn't scale very well since it relies on
entityIDs. In this case, entity attributes are a sure win. (Any time
you configure an entityID, it is almost always better to configure an
entity attribute instead.)

Your second approach is a little better but since it depends on
context-sensitive EntityDescriptor elements, I'd rather use entity
attributes.

I have to admit, lately entity attributes have become my proverbial
hammer in search of a nail :-)
