Anything that blocks conversion of T to DHT or the action of DHT itself will minimize the virulizing effects of DHT (male pattern baldness, body hair, pungent body odor and those other male characteristics.) T mainly affects muscle growth and the ability to achieve and maintain erections. Another benefit of blocking conversion to DHT is that excess T can be aromatized to estradiol by the body. The endocrine system has a set level of T it tries to maintain in the body and either aromatizes it to estrogen or converts it into DHT. If you can't make DHT, your system will make estradiol.

Anything that inhibits production of T in the first place will also decrease DHT and its effects, but there won't be any excess T to aromatize into estradiol.

You just need to decide which way you want to decrease DHT and which medication has the least undesirable side effects
