In coldfusion, queryExecute() can i use JSON structure with {} and : for 2nd parameter 'params' type struct of struct.what are pros and cons?

Question

I am struggling b/w two syntaxes of coldfusion. Please, Help..!!

QueryExecute(sql, params, options);

Normal syntax:

sqlEmployees = "SELECT * FROM Employees 
                 WHERE empid = :empid 
                   AND country = :country";
sqlParamsEmployees.empid = { value = 1, cfsqltype = "cf_sql_integer", "null": "yes"};
sqlOptionsEmployees = {dataSource = "#DSN_new#", maxRows = "10", returnType = "json/struct"};
qEmployees = queryExecute(sqlEmployees, sqlParamsEmployees, sqlOptionsEmployees);

Proposed syntax:

sqlEmployees = "SELECT * FROM Employees 
                             WHERE empid = :empid 
                            AND country = :country";
sqlParamsEmployees.empid = { 
     "value": 1, 
     "cfsqltype": "cf_sql_integer", 
     "null": "yes"
  };
sqlOptionsEmployees = {
     "dataSource": "#newDS#", 
     "maxRows": "10", 
     "returnType": "json/struct"
   };
qEmployees = queryExecute(sqlEmployees, sqlParamsEmployees, sqlOptionsEmployees);

Can anyone help which is the best and why?

thanks.
