Page with posts or Category?

I’m setting up a site that is going to have both a “press” section and a “blog”. I wanted to have wordpress power both. Which is better?

1) Create two Pages. One for “press” and another for “blog”. Then make a custom template for the page to included all posts from a given category.

2) Link directly to a category with a slug. For example, domain.com/category/press would be the press section.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
