Default Tail Docking Methods

I've been shopping for a new vet and one of my questions has been the tail docking method used. All that I've talked to use a cut and suture method. I'm not really keen on that but I found one that uses dissolvable stitches. I guess it's preferable to a stitch that has to be removed. What do y'all think of this method? I had a previous vet that cut and cauterized the tail with no stitch but I no longer use them due to a disagreement over other issues. The vet I'm considering going with is highly recommended and I got good responses from them to my questions about other issues, primarily about anesthesia methods used. I'm thinking of making an appointment with them to get one of my boys his rabies shot which is due now to see if I want to start using this vet. I have a girl due with her litter on June 29 so I need to make a decision soon. If I feel comfortable with this vet in general, should I let the tail docking be a make or break issue? Thanks for any replies.
