I did a search and could not find an answer to a basic gear shift question...

When downshifting(fourth/fifth to second) is there less wear and tear on the synchros by double clutching or running the gears through 4-3-2 with the clutch depressed and then blipping the throttle before relaeasing the clutch into second?
