Each approach on @hemi_xyz has significant limitations.

The header relay model can only prove that a particular transaction exists on Bitcoin, but cannot prove anything about the UTXO table. 

It also requires validating Merkle proofs onchain and doesn't allow the smart contract to dynamically request additional Bitcoin data.

The Oracle model introduces a significant trust assumption. 

Depending on the implementation, it generally does not allow the smart contract to dynamically request data unless the oracle is built into the virtual machine protocol itself.
