This would be instead of "justify-content: space-between;"

If there are only two items, then since "justify-content: space-between;" is intended to do exactly what you want, that would be the best-practice choice.
Using auto margins could be a good choice when you have multiple items to group together on opposite sides, but you may be able to achieve the same effect with combinations of "justify-content" on the container and "justify-self" on the items(s) to be aligned differently.
