Which way of defining routes is more Rails Way-ish and recommended?

Let's say all I need for now is just a GET REST service that returns the JSON when I go to this address:

http://localhost:3000/population_management/1.json

One way is to define it this way:

resources :population_management, :only => [:show]

And one way is to define it this way:

  resources :population_management

  match "population_management/:id" => "population_management#show", :via => :get

And I am sure there are other ways too, So what is your recommendation and why?

the first solution is clearer. plus Rails already defines what you've written in solution two (by using resources -> see here) , so let Rails do it's job, only limit these resources to 1 route.
