tl;dr

Depends. If it's a thin cylinder, the tabs will have to be very small to fold them "in", else they will stick out. And if it's a small cylinder, you won't have much glueing surface. This gets better if it's over a cm in diameter or something like that, but it's still not very strong, if it's sticking out like that, it can easily come off. It's easier to make, though, and less work (no cutting a hole).
The second method is a little stronger: you can't just "tear it off", like in method 1, you'd have to also tear the tabs "through" the other part, or rip off the tabs (but the tension in that direction is stronger than sideways like in method 1). It is a bit more difficult to make: it's simple enough to cut a hole stick a cylinder in there and fold back the tabs, but if the hole isn't exactly the size it needs to be, you'll either have trouble putting the cylinder on, or you'll have a small ugly gap. It also needs more design planning: you can't make this the last part: you need to be able to reach inside to apply pressure to the tabs. Tl;dr so you can't really say: which method is better, 1 or 2? Check which situation you're in, and see which method fits that situation best. ;)
