Personally, I have a combination of the above ideas. Where I have a list of characters with their hierarchical attributes (affiliations, relationships, living/dead, romance, etc.) which is linked to their "File" which is written up in OneNote. I also have a mastermind map (also in OneNote) to allow me to visualize these characters.

Now, if I am being truly honest. I primarily write shorter stories (working on my first novel though) and I do this for each story. However, sometimes a character gets carried over or copied in essence to the other. This allows for faster writing and smoother character development, in terms of pushing along the story, as I can take what I need at a glance and keep working.
