Witch is better and why?

Random question, I have my own opinion but I love hearing others

Do u think it's better to be best friends before lovers or visa versa?

On one hand being close to some one, before a relationship is
Wonderful, you know the person through and through, know what
To expect and already have a deep passion and intrest in who the
Person really is

On the other hand,

On the other hand, having initial passion with someone, and growing
To truly know some one through trail and error, creates a deep connection
And understand if you are strong enough to pull through it all.

What are ur thoughts
