I am simulating a PCB board with two conducting layers on the top and bottom of a FR-4 dielectric layer. There are two ways to model the conductor layers
1) Draw two very thin boxes and assign PEC
2) Draw two rectangles and assign Perfect E boundary.

Which one is better in terms of the accuaracy of the solution and efficiency?

Thanks.
 

I doesn't make a big difference. But why don't you make two very thin boxes and assign finite condutivity and copper as material?
The closer to real thing you make your model the better.
