What is the correct way to remove property from node using Cypher?

I have found two ways to remove the property from the node. The first one is REMOVE n.name, and the second one is SET n.name= NULL.

Is there a recommendation for which of these two methods is better?

Usually REMOVE n.name is preferred. SET n.name = NULL might be useful especially if the value (null in this case) is provided by parameter and you don't know if it will be null or some actual value.
