I vote for the breaker bar. It gives you a much better feel for what's going on. If one of the bolts is unusually tight, you will notice it before it's too late. However, it is more common to break head bolts when torquing them down than when removing them.

I prefer a 24" bar (as opposed to an 18") for the extra leverage.
