Both. 
 
My plan is to run two of the oil injectors and use premix, with the intention of minimizing oil buildup in the apex seals, while avoiding damage when/if I screw up the premix. Each option has it's benefits. Each option has its drawbacks. You just have to realize the limitations of whatever you put together and live within them.
