Cloning with filtering method is better for me because I tend to pure functions and immutability. Delete operator is only useful if you really, really (i mean REALLY) need exactly that object. The "immutable way" looks complex and unnecessary but one can write bulletproof large scale applications which will have significantly fewer bugs.
