Best practice to create entry (relationship)?

I am trying to figure out what is best practice to create new row.

Let say we have this in the controller:

$this->noteRepository->addNote($request->user(), $name, $note);

Two working solution of of addNote method in the noteRepository class, from example:

Option 1 - This will create entry using noteModel

public function addNote($user, $name, $gitToken)
{
     return $this->noteModel->create([
         'user_id' => $user->id,
         'name'    => $name,
         'note'   => $note,
     ]);
}

Option 2 - there is a notes() method in the user model.

public function addNote($user, $name, $note)
{
     return $user->notes()->create([
         'user_id' => $user->id,
         'name'    => $name,
         'note'   => $note,
     ]);
}

In the user model look like this:

public function notes()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Note::class);
}

Which is recommended approach to use and why?
