"Better" is like "prettier" -- rather subjective, and which of two means of doing something is faster/more efficient/more productive is usually only knowable after being attempted. In your case, sometimes depositions produce nothing. Sometimes, people lie or do not respond, or respond very poorly, to written requests or an order to produce. No competent attorney could produce a reasonable response to your question without knowing a lot more detail as to what is going on, and why.
