What wing running technique is used where you fly and, if it is method
2, can you please explain the advantages over method 1?

I have never seen method 2 used. It should go without saying that I was
taught method 1 and have used it on heavy gliders up to and including an
ASH-25.

I agree with John Galloway that the weight of the wing should be reason
for aborting the launch rather than using two hands and would add another
reason for not launching as well as a heavy (out of balance) wing: that
is a cross-wind strong enough to make the wing that heavy is probably in
excess of the glider's cross-wind launch limit.
