It depends on the method of washing dishes. You can wash dishes under a running faucet and use a lot of water or you can fill your basin with water and use that amount for washing dishes and use less water.

Which is the better way to hand wash dishes by filling the sink with water and dishsoap or washing one by one sqirting dishsoap on a sponge while running hot water?

using running water (water temperature not a factor) is a better method of hand washing dishes than a sink full of water. Rinsing as you wash removes more contaminants than having the dishes soaking in dirty water. Based on basic decontamination practices run-off is dirty and rinsing is better. the friction of sponge with soap is more cleansing than soaking in water. basically, are you cleaner after a shower or a bath if you are covered in mud? shower is cleaner.
