Topping outside plant vs LST

[superballs]

My mostly sativa blend plant outside is now about 4 and a half feet tall and my fence is only 7 ft tall, I dont want it to grow past 5 feet...maybe 5 and a half. If I top it, when should I do so? Also would LST work better....would I get a higher yield? Whats the pros and cons of both?
