Which method is superior? Reflling via a Snap and Fill using a syringe with pressure or doing it inside a vacuum chamber with a clip under vacuum?

Either way the ink is being forced through the print head. The "best" way I would think is remove the metal ball inject into the bag then use a set screw to replace the original metal ball. The problem with forcing it through the print head is that you can damage or clog the head. But then you are forcing the ink up the head and might be doing some good to the metal screens before the print head on the cart.

I use a snap and fill most of the time but I had mine break a month or two ago and went back to the set screws and remembered just how easy it was to do it that way.

I just fill a few carts for my own use someone else might have a better answer on why you should use one method over the other.
