Both would work.
I would also say the Appliance Module switching the transformers AC Power On and Off  is a good way to go.

I also would go with the appliance module as my preferred route.

I'm pretty sure that the appliance module will be a cheaper route than the universal module, too.

Undoubtedly easier to find.
