Interfacing DDR SDRAM with Stratix II

I am new to FPGA designing. I want to interface Stratix II (EP2S60F672C3N) with Micron 46V16M16 (4 Meg x 16 x 4 banks).How should I start my implementation ?

1) Using SOPC builder to integrate the DDR SDRAM with the NIOS II soft processor

or

2) Using Megawizard IP that generates the Controller and PHY to interface with the DDR SDRAM?

Please explain in depth if possible(I am new to interfacing memory).Thanks in advance.

    SOPC Builder is toold that allows you build easily a stem from different component or péripherals (Nios II, memory, uart, custom péripheral,..)

    If inside SOPC Builder, you add a DDR2 controller, it will automatically open the Wizard IP to configure the controller, then add it to your SoCs system.
