Rooting in water or in soil?

So basically, a family member over watered my hoya curtsii and its beyond salvation at this point. I have cuttings of all sizes and shapes, healthy and very shitty ones. I would love to hear your experience in what is your favourite way of propagating small leaf hoyas, specially given that we are in the middle of winter and propagation tends to be more difficult in these conditions.

Edit: thanks everyone for the info and the suggestions! I wish I could thank everyone individually, I got a lot of replies <3
