I'm afraid my opinion is a cryptic answer:  the ones that live are vigorous. 
If you want 20 plants, set out 60 cuttings.  Half will die and a third of 
what's left will puny.  But in he end you'll get your good 20 plants. 
"Layering", the second method, will give better plants especially if you 
prune off 3/4ths of the stem when you dig it.  In  a few years you can't 
tell the difference between the mother plant and the ones from cuttings. 
Blueberry plants live a loooong time.
