I'm a language teacher in my native country and I do teach how to write essays. The structure is always the same:

1. Introduction
2. Development
3. Conclusion

Within the development, one should present arguments in a logical order, much like the one you learnt in the first semester. Do note that the definition of 'logical order' may depend on the topic and scope of the requested essay. If one is required to present pros and cons while validating a thesis (especially if 'right / wrong' is subjective), using classical rhetoric strategies is of great advantage.

I'd say it's not a matter of choosing one approach over the other, it's a matter of combining the best of those approaches. Respect the general structure and be creatively logic in the development section.
