I like to do both. A small, bright bead for the flash, and some wire for weight. I take two short pieces of lead wire and attach them to either side of the hook. It makes a nymph with a wide, flat body that has some weight. Since most nymphs are wide and flat I think it makes a slightly better profile.
Wire underbody vs. bead/cone head
