Stock pillar+glass bedding vs. action v-block

Having in mind getting a new stock for my F/TR barreled action (Barnard S + Bartlein Heavy Palma 32"), not sure how to mount it for final best accuracy and reliability.
According your experience which is the best mounting option between classic stock inletting and bedding and action v-blocks such as Whidden and Barnard ones?
 
Call me old school/behind the times.
I prefer brass pillared & bedded stocks for comp guns over a V block system.

Chassis/Tube stock systems work well, but then again I'm old school.

Thumb hole stocks don't float my boat in the least!
 
The external surfaces of an OEM action are not all perfectly true so something will have to bend somewhere as you bolt the thing down forcing its imperfect shapes into conforming to a perfectly true v-bedding block, stock inletting, or whatever. Maybe custom actions are different, I dunno, but wouldn’t count on it.

Which makes a very good case for pillars and glass bedding.
