the most efficient method of adding elements to the list

No append does NOT reallocate for every call. Whenever a reallocation
happens, the newsize is proportional to the older size. So you should
essentially get amortized constant time for every append call.

If you want to add a bunch of items in one call.. you should use the
'extend' method.
