My opinion is that bump starting is the best thing to do. Whether you are using the starter or bump starting the process does the same thing. Spins the engine with the ignition on until it fires up. The difference is whether you wear on the starter or the clutch. When bump starting I always use the highest gear possible in order to minimize the "lunge" which makes it easier on the clutch. Of course with using the starter you avoid the lunge if you rev match.
The reason I chose bump starting is because its a simpler process. Let off gas, clutch in, turn key back, wait a second, key on. Coast. When my speed gets down simply let off the clutch and I am back driving. With starting its the same except when you need to start again you need to turn the key. Its just an extra step.
I suggest doing it whatever way is more natural. The key is to get a rhythm that is smooth and effective so you can do it over and over to maximize your coasting time and MPG.
