Either would be fine as far as I'm concerned. Both achieve the
primary objective of stopping routing engines from using this road.<br>

<div>& would you also add noexit=yes to each end of the

noexit isn't a tag I've used. According to <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:noexit"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:noexit</a>
"It must be ignored by routing (GPS)." - which means its use
shouldn't affect routing.<br>
<br>
Also, if you use access=private then noexit=yes is wrong because
"other modes can continue".<br>
<br>
If you are using a map checking tool which complains if it doesn't
have a noexit=yes tag then add it. Personally, I don't normally add
tags which have no practical effect on how I use the map, and only
affect a tool which: I haven't used, don't have experience with, and
therefore can't verify if I'm using the tag correctly.<br>

There will always be sources which require a subjective decision on
what is sufficiently verifiable to justify mapping it. Are the two
blokes beside you people who you know previously to be reliable
sources? Or are they the local drunks who are known to tell tall
tales?<br>
