I always recommend to stick with the method you're comfortable and most Importantly, confident with.
Alright, so I ran a test, and I found out that se'ing an iPhone with apple care would make my life easier.
So how do you think of doing it then ? Do you mind sharing it ?

So lets say I go to a camping trip in a forest, everything was going just fine, my iPhone was perfectly fine, I was happy. Hours in the trip my iPhone just randomly started to overheat, it got hotter by the second, there was smoke, and whatnot; so I had to throw the iPhone in the river to avoid causing a fire, and I obviously got "injured". So I contact apple and hope for a replacement, here's the thing, they need the device back, they follow the guidelines (I really tried to bypass this but they follow their books, unfortunately). And for obvious reasons I don't have the phone I'm trying to SE. But, I was told if the phone had apple, it would be liable for a loss claim. With my current case, the forrest, iPhone catching fire and whatnot, they would have to offer me a replacement without any trouble. (I still have to test this, just looking for an iPhone with AppleCare)

For your reference, Apple offer what's called a "one-time exception" per account. It's hidden within their policy, and unbeknownst to many people.
What It means, Is that they'll Issue a refund/replacement without having to return the Item.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I'll continue with the test case; I'll call apple and talk to their seniors, hoping to get something out of that. I'll let you know what happens.

I also assume that the device doesn't need AppleCare to make use of "one-time exception".

Correct.
The one-time exception, Is given to the account holder regardless of the account's status.

Most certainly, I'll keep you guys updated.
Well that's fantastic, I should be able to get the replacement from the test case.

If It succeeds, It'll be a very good Indication of what to expect with future SEs.
