Which one the following two you recommend for making changes in css files?

(i) Through the ftp or (ii) Through appearance and editor in the dashboard of WordPress under Style.css

Or if there is another better way?

    Get a text editor that has built in FTP. Then you simply open and save the file just like any other, and the changes are instantly on your server.

    I use UltraEdit myself. It's not free, but there are lots of other free options available.

    better if you use ftp and a editor like notepad++ so you can take a backup of your file and then upload the edited version at server over ftp.

    I always make sure I have a backup of the file I am editing.

    If it's a small change, I'll do it with the WordPress theme editor, otherwise I'll use Notepad++ which has it's own ftp client plugin.

    With WordPress you should not edit the style.css unless you have created a child theme.

    WordPress under Style.css and in dreamweaver connected to ftp is better and faster in editing.
