neither one should stress your plant as both should be done/stopped 7-10 days before putting into flower. i've transplanted in flower plenty of times and never stressed a plant to hermie. more than likely you had a light leak or so-so genetics.

you can use both methods. LST first and then once the smaller shoots start to catch up top them all. make sure that you water at least an hour before LSTing, preferably the day before. LST is also much easier to do on a younger, softer plant.
