Of course, you need hard drive space for the installer partition and another one to put El Capitan (maybe 10 GB and 40 GB will do the trick, unless you'll need to transfer programs/data/preferences/settings/users). but there are so many mishaps like yours that make the first option more reliable. Yes, it's easier just use this second option.
