showing/hiding html elements with javascript

which option among the following is better or used as a standard way to show/hide the html elements

1. changing element.style.display
2. adding/removing a separate class called hide {display: none}
3. any other standard way

PS: this JavaScript hide/show element question uses the first option mentioned( changes the style to block to show which may not be desired). I would like to know whether this method is used in most websites or the adding /removing a separate class or any other way

3. A third way in the answers below https://stackoverflow.com/a/68983509/14478972

Answer

I prefer to toggle a class using DOMTokenList.toggle():

The toggle() method of the DOMTokenList interface removes a given token from the list and returns false. If token doesn’t exist it’s added and the function returns true.
