Ultimately tsleep and addclock0link events are both
triggered by the clock interrupt handler, so the precision
is the same.  Tsleep inside a kproc is heavier weight,
but if you need lots of context then the kproc can help
out.  It sounds like in your case addclock0link is the way
to go.  Whichever makes your code simpler.
