Like others I'll use all of those methods in appropriate scenarios. Maybe one that hasn't been noted is a salami/slash/diagonal/stumpjump type cut. I use it (usually with a wedge in the highside of the kerf in larger diameter wood) when rigging wood from an overhead point.
 
I usually snap cut small wood up to about 8",bigger than that i push with one hand,if back leaning,a deep notch and a pull rope.
 
I like the face cut pull rope for the larger stuff. It also depends the situation I have used all those techniques at one time or another.
