Both methods are viable. It just depends on circumstances. If the bike is used regularly, hot is going to be my method. If it sat for days, cold will get more oil out, but you have to let it drain for a while. If it is an old bike that has sat for several weeks/months I will often fill it with a cheap oil, run it for a few days to stir up anything that settled, then do a hot oil change to my preferred oil with a new filter.
