Spot, Weighted and Matrix metering, is it the same as EV Compensation?

I prefer center weighted measure and EV compensation to matrix plus EV. The reason being, that center weighted is quite predictable, while you do not know what the processor thinks about the picture just taken in matrix mode. I can set the EV value in center weighted before taking the shot and will get usable results. In matrix mode I always do one shot to check the outcome and adjust EV afterwards if still necessary.

Else both methods are quite equal in terms of workflow. In critical lighting conditions you always have to check the histogram and set the EV if needed. In practice setting the camera to M mode and using an incident light meter might be sometimes easier.

In the end you have to choose the method you are used to and comfortable with as they will give the best results.
The best workflow is the one that works for you.
