It depends on what your true purpose is.
If you wish to give the user a chance to escape from a bad file or other incompatible change with a simple re-boot . . .
Then use a bind mount.
Making sure it is not automatically created by the start-up code, only by the menu entry to enable it.
If neither you nor the computer never makes an in-compatible file change that someone might need to escape from, then change the system file.
