Motorizing a valve, which of this two options is better?

I wish they made 12v sprinkler valves, but 24v are the only ones I've seen.

I just did this for one of my own projects. The average 24v solenoid valve should operate just fine on 12v wall wart switched with a 2n2222, at least three different ones did for me (Lawn Genie, Toro, and rain Bird).
