Need fast help on germinating seed

Ok, so a real quick question here: When germinating, would it be better to put the seeds right into tupperware using the paper towel method or would it help to let the seeds sit in water for 12-24 hours then move them into the paper towels?

Thanks for all the help guys, love this forum and this community, nothing but love

 

Thank you very much, I was more leaned to doing this but just needed at least one person's opinion.
