What's the best way of charging between the two to make your battery last longer?

I bought an iPhone 12 this January coming from a 7 and I was wondering if, aside from charging speed, there is an actual long term benefit in using one charging method instead of the other.

I read about people saying magsafe should make it last longer because it operates at 15W instead of the lighting charging at 20W, but it may also decrease the battery life because wireless charging produces quite some heat which causes batteries to degrade faster.

I don't really care about "fast charging" so I was considering buying a magsafe charger but only if it proves to be actually helpful.
