I've been teaching both methods for a while now. I like the 'DME only' method a bit better because you can use your nav/hsi for another use than just for the arc itself. However, I've noticed with my students that they have a bit more trouble 'staying on top of' the 'DME only' method. It will work fine until they get distracted with something, and once they really start to get off the arc things don't usually get better. The 'turn and twist' method seems to work better for most of them.
