Benefit of using punchdowns vs RJ45 Coupler? (alien.top)

My router is in the next room on the opposite side of my bedroom wall.

My goal is to have a ethernet jack on my side of the wall for my PC to connect to and an ethernet jack on the other side of the wall.

I've found there are inline coupler jacks (where I would have a short ethernet cable inside the wall connecting the two with RJ45 coupler jacks inside the wall) or is it better to use two keystone jacks connecting them by a short patch cable and puching the wires down?
