Out of those two choices I'd say the handbrake would be better.
But what you need to learn is a few techniques that you can read up on here, here, and here. Here is also a thread with nothing but recommendations for beginner drift cars. And to go along with that thread is this one, which gives you the Drift Settings Depot.
Here are two full guides, one by BL, and this one by Ske.
Not sure if you were asking for all of that......anyways, the best way I find to start a drift is to use the feint, gets it going every time.

well that depends on your car and your tires.., if your car can shift weight, feint, lift-off or just using the brakes is enough to start a drift.., for the tires, IMO N3's are the best..,

I'd say turning is a good place to start.

Tune, then use one of the many techniques. Depends on the car.

I don't think its possible to feint and then power over. After you feint then you're just driving. Power over is just driving like normal and mashing the gas causing the tires to lose grip. So really you're only mixing a brake and feint.

Less extreme of a feint, just enough to get a bit of slip angle into the car so that the rears can be toked to keep the drift going?

i sometimes use lift-off or accel-off.., but most of the time i use brakes or power over..,

I suppose I can agree with that.👍

Agreed, this is one of my main methods of initiating a drift. Either that or I just lift off and power over. To me its about throttle control, usually a lot of it. I know its not the same for all drifters, but it works for me.

A best way to start a drifting or a Drift is to practice, though I hoped you did some researched before making this thread. Matter of techniques is the small task but people tend to use multiple techniques once they know them. You suggest N02 but some say Ebrake, but take a look at Keiichi's Drift Bible. Its a good reference on what techniques is being used and also how to setup a car. One more thing, experiment and practice. Have fun with it, Xavier might say feint is the best way some other person might say Ebrake or N02 is better. It depends on your own personal style.

if was you i'll just brake and then e-brake but all cars you dont need to do that dont used your nos cause all that is doing is making your tire go faster but how ever it is good on some turns
