301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".

Though there are a few gray areas, Google provides some clear guidelines to make sure we all know how they want us to manage redirections. In very simple terms, here is what each communicates to Google and search engines:
301 – Hey, Search Engines: My page is no longer here, and has permanently moved to a new page. Please remove it from your index and pass credit to the new page.

Canonical issue like your website open with non www and www and /index.html but all have same content, so you should use 301 redirect other pages to www(.)domain(.)com

A 301 Redirect is a HTTP status code that is used to communicate to search engines that the original page that is trying to be accessed has been moved permanently to a new webpage.
Canonical Attribute is not a redirect. A rel="canonical" attribute will not redirect a visitor to the new URL, instead it is used as a signal for search engines to indicate which page to index in the search results when similar or duplicated content appears within a website.

Canonical - Canonical tags, as you should well know if you are an SEO professional, are a meta tag placed in the <head> of your page that points to the original source of the information contained on the page.
301 redirect - A 301 redirect tells the search engines that a piece of content has moved permanently and that means, users will now be directed to this new page.
