I think you should also consider how the finished product will be used. If an heirloom, then by all means use the needleturn method. If the project will be in the washer often, then use the easier and quicker methods of fusible/satin/macnine stitched.
You do not want to put a lot of time into a project will will be roughly used, i.e, a baby or child's quilt.
