Remove Comments Specific Pages: Which Method is Better?

[pxforti]

I use the code below to add comments to a specific page. It works, but I'm not sure it's the best way to do it.
Note: Neither examples works unless I turn on comments for pages in the Genesis theme settings first. Also, the genesis_after_entry is genesis 2.0; use genesis_after_post for genesis 1.x

There are two code examples below and both work. Can anyone tell me if one way is more efficient than the other. Or if there is a better way to do it?

Specifically: in first method, should I use genesis_before instead of wp_enqueue_scripts</strong. Also, is it better to use two if statements instead of one if statement with &&?

First Method:

add_action( genesis_before', 'wnd_remove_comments' );

function wnd_remove_comments() {
	if (!is_page(2358))	{
		if ( is_page())	{
			remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_get_comments_template' );
		}
	}
}

Second Method:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wnd_remove_comments' );

function wnd_remove_comments() {
	if ( is_page() && (!is_page(2358)))	{
		remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_get_comments_template' );
	}
}

Hello,

I am curious. Why do you want to use these methods instead of turning comments on and off within the page editor? I am wondering if I a missing something here.

I have too many pages that are already built and don't want to have to turn off comments every time I build a page.

If I remember correctly there is a WordPress setting to default to no comments, and then on any individual page where you want comments you check the box. In the future you wouldn't have to turn off comments every time you add a page.

Or you could just remove the comments part from a custom page.php.
