I prefer to close the end with a natural cork. That provides for better control in the fine tuning stage as you can move the cork. This eventually results in a more precisely tuned flute. In case where you use the bamboo node to close one end, the position of the closed end is permanently fixed and you lose the flexibility in fine tuning. Thereby making the overall quality a little unpredictable.
