I prefer using canonical links, and that's how I cross-post my articles. I find the concept of being forced to go to another site quite annoying (it might be the extra click, IDK). Using canonical links allows you to reap all the benefits of Dev's SEO as if users entered your blog. If you want to encourage people to go to your blog you can and should add a CTA at the end of the article.

That's my 2 cents.
