Wouldn't it be easier to bag the asteroid, and then tow it?

I don't think it would be easier, but the idea would rank up there with the air bag.

I personally favor the nuke approach, as long as the nuke penetrates the surface before detonating.

Not good enough.

What is meant by "penetrates the surface"? for the 10 K rock mentioned in the article, you would need a lot of nukes, and you would need to bore a kilometer (at least) for all of them.
