Doesn't matter - you will do the same thing with integrated security and sql server.
Best to add a role to the database, give the permissions to the role then add the user to that role.

I prefer integrated security logins if there's not a reason to use sql server. Whether that's not applicable will depend on your environment.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
