Best Outhaul Setup

I have noticed that there are a few different ways to set up the outhaul. Some put a purchase aft of the block and then run the line forward around the gooseneck and back to the daggerboard..others set it up with the line going through the boom block and then put a purchase in front of the block and then around the gooseneck and then another purchase with the tail hanging down..which is the easiest to setup and adjust?
 
Thanks for the link..it does appear they use the purchase system aft of the boom block..one picture shows that he takes the outhaul tail around the mast and then back to the cockpit but another shows him taking it around the mast and then through the halyard fairlead and then back to the cockpit...seems that this would cause friction with the halyard line and be more difficult to pull than just going around the mast and then back to the cockpit?
