Revo: Get snippet ID by Name?

Greetings. I’m looking to retrieve a snippet’s id based on its name. Would you use a query ala

$c = $modx->newQuery('modSnippet');
$c->where(array(
  'name' => 'snippetname'
));
$resource = $modx->getOne('modSnippet',$c);
$id = $resource->get('id');

Or, is there an easier way to do this?

$snip = $modx->getObject($modSnippet, array('name'=> $name));
$id = $snip->get('id');
