Driving under 3mph vs. slipping the clutch

Hello,

My apartment has a semi-steep ramp that I need to slowly creep in at an angle to avoid scraping. I usually up the ramp in 1st at <3mph which sometimes results in lurching and other unpleasant grainy noises (which I'm assuming to be normal). Recently though, I've been slipping the clutch on and off, as if I were in traffic, to avoid the lurching.

I know neither is likely causing more than normal wear, but I'm curious as to what other people would do and why.
