Actually, either method works fine (loadlin vs LILO). My two cents worth:
Be prepared to repair either method when Win95 goes _crash_ and you end up
reloading Win95. For loadlin, have a spare DOS floppy with loadlin.exe on it.
For LILO, have a bootable Linux floppy (created at installation time). After
reloading Win95, either copy over loadin.exe or reboot using the Linux floppy
and re-run LILO as the root account.
Best of luck!
