Is it better to use widening vs autoboxing?

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
  Code:
   0:   iconst_ 5
   1:   istore_ 1
   2:   iload_ 1
   3:   i2l
   4:   invokestatic    #6; //Method hello:(J)V
   7:   return

}

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
  Code:
   0:   iconst_ 5
   1:   istore_ 1
   2:   iload_ 1
   3:   invokestatic    #6; //Method java/lang/Integer.valueOf:(I)Ljava/lang/Integer;
   6:   invokestatic    #7; //Method hello:(Ljava/lang/Integer;)V
   9:   return

}
