Use the standard mechanism.  It is possible to build an example case when you might need to use the springResources thing, but that would be an extremely odd edge case.

The primary value of those two things is educational.  The Static Connector is simple enough that it is feasible to use it to show how to use springResources or springResourcesRef (which information you could then use to configure the more complex connectors).

Use the standard mechanism.
