Letter Spacing

Grok

I’m currently having a debate with another designer on how to appropriately configure widely spaced titles on top of each other.

In the attached example I’m showing 2 methods. The first uses a consistent letter spacing but a variable size to achieve a justified look, and the second uses consistent size but variable letter spacing to achieve the same result.

Are there any rules governing this or is it left up to the designer?
