URL redirect vs parked domain vs addon domain

I recently registered a domain name which I would like to point to my main site. In my domain account at my registrar, I made DNS changes to point to my nameservers.

I want to be able to see stats on how many people actually point to the new domain (and get redirected). But I don't really need any email or cpanel functions. It's just there to redirect traffic, that's it.

So which one of the following should I be doing?

1. Set up new domain in WHM. Log into new domain's cPanel and add URL redirect.

2. Do not set up new domain in WHM. Log into main site cPanel and add new domain as addon domain.

3. Do not set up new domain in WHM. Log into main site cPanel and add new domain as parked domain.

Again, an important requirement is that I want to easily be able to monitor the stats on how many visitors point to the new domain.

Thanks for your help.

Vito
