Casting on new stitches

I'm knitting-in-the-round a flip-top mitten (like the Broad Street
mittens at

but not that pattern). After getting close to the fingers, you knit the
palm stitches onto store them on a string holder, then knit the back
stitches, then cast on new stitches for the palm side of the flap. How
do I cast those stitches on? Should I use the Single Cast-On or Cable
Cast-On, to use the terms from

or some other method? The next few palm rows are going to be K1, P1
ribbing, if that makes a difference.

Funny, I'm knitting a similar pair. Or at least will be if the swatch
felts properly.

I'd lean towards to cable cast on as you do want some elasticity to
that part.

Thanks, I'll go ahead with that!
