better is relative, that's why you have options
grid is faster, and depending on the mode it can be much faster, like in Points mode
so if it's grid you are after, there is no need to use sweep for that, unless it gives you some advantage, like different point ordering or uv directions that works better for or any other reason than just replicating what grid is already doing

Figuring out how to translate the old for each subnet to the new for loops has definitely been one of the more confusing things I've tried to learn in Houdini

I bet

for learning purposes you can always unhide deprecated nodes (until they are fully removed) to be able to follow old tutorials
just open textport (Alt+Shift+T) and type
opunhide Sop foreach

then in Sop Tab menu you should see Foreah Subnet, even though you may have gone through this particular hurdle, it may be useful for other operators in the future as getting stuck can be demotivating, but of course learning the new stuff eventually is way to go
