Honestly, they both seem counter-productive to me. The way I normally do
it is:

1. Type Command-N to start a new message, and the "To" field is active.
2. Type the beginning of a name. 
3. As soon as the correct name appears, press the Return key, which
places it into the field, and the field is ready to accept another name.
3. Go to step 2 and repeat until done.

I consider this to be quicker and simpler than selecting names with a
mouse cursor and dragging them into the field.
