Chain sizing for a 1x drivetrain?

Hi all:

I've always used the "big-big+1 full link" method to size my chain on double drivetrains. I've never setup a 1x before, and am finding different suggestions online. Some places say the same thing, i.e. big-big+1 full link, where others say you should add 2 full links.

Obviously, it's always easier to shorten than to lengthen, so I'll try the +2 full links first, but was curious what others are doing, and what are the benefits if any of +2 vs. +1.

Thanks!
