A stupid question: which is recomended?

I have 1 interface eth0. I need to set about 20 virtual interfaces eth0:xx on it.

If I create them with ifconfig eth0:xx I see it with ifconfig and with ip addr ls. If I set it with 'ip addr add', ifconfig don't show them, but 'ip addr ls' and 'route' show them. So, which is better?

Thanks in advance.
PS: I can't find anywhere docs about relationship between 'old' utilities ifconfig, route, etc and the iproute2 package. Point me to some comparision between them, please.
