In Norway we do both. First you pick the list of names belong to
the party for which they want to vote. Then you are allowed to
change the list, by "striking out" the names (to "score" them
down) or tick the names (to "score" them up). You can "strike" or
"tick" as many names as you like. If no names were "striked" or
"ticked", the N first names on the list would have been chosen.
But there is always quite a few who make changes to their lists
and if enough changes are made, the rank made by the party will be
overruled.
