I want to take violin lessons and I've been in two different academies to see which one I like most but the teachers taught me different ways to hold the violin

Teacher A told me to hold the violin with my Shoulder and my cheek/chin and be able to hold it without my hand

Teacher B told me to lay it on my shoulder and grab it softly with my hand mostly my thumb. The cheek/chin wasn't really necessary. I could rest my chin in the violin but not really grab it with it

Which one is better? What teacher should I choose?
