Monero GUI Wallet on Whonix: Securest settings and installation Simple Mode or Local Node

Which setting is most secure in the Monero GUI wallet on Whonix?

Is Simple Mode (remote node via the Tor network) more secure because the connection is automatically routed through Tor?
Or is a local node (your own node on your PC) the better choice in terms of privacy and security?
I suspect that Simple Mode is more sensible in Whonix, since all network traffic is already routed through Tor. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

How do I correctly install Monero on Whonix, and what terminal commands are needed?
