Both the methods are ok, just that plating allows early rehabilitation and near normal reduction.
Health Tips
Even k wiring requires anaesthesia, so if you plan for that then better is plating.
In situation, where you father is not fit for anaesthesia or undesirous of surgery, then the option of cast always remains possible.
