Stackwise Virtual on 9500-40X - Dual Active Detection on port channel

I am setting up Stackwise Virtual on 9500-40X and have a question around the dual active detection link 

 

The documentation suggests the dual active detection is an optional step 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst9500/software/release/16-6/configuration_guide/b_166_ha_9500/b_166_ha_9500_chapter_01.pdf

 

And also to configure a single link 

 

Is it best practice to congiure 2 links and use the ePagP method, i would rather have a port-channel run as the dual active link than a single link

Hello

Out of the 3 DAD's I would opt for Dual-active fast-hello

This method only requires direct L2 peering between the vss switches and doesn't rely on PAGP on MECs either so it easier to create and less configuration to implement

Just saw your post.
Curious about what SFP transceivers and fibre cables you used. Thanks in advance.

Because at the moment I am trying to think of using SFP-H10GB-CU1M instead of SFP-10G-SR (which I saw from other setup).
