metal hydroxide reaction in water?

If you have a metal hydroxide that reacts with water, will your net equation be oh- and h20 or 2h2o?
For example
MOH + H20 --> M+ + OH- + H2O
vs
MOH + H3O+ --> M+ H20?
Is this essentially saying the same thing because we are taking H3O+ out of solution to make H2O or is it different?
