Transform a list into a map - foreach or streams?

I want to transform a List<String> into a Map<String, Integer>. The lists' values should serve as keys, and the map value will be statically initialized.

I want to keep the order of the list, thus using a LinkedHashMap, and ignore duplicates.

Question: is there any advantage using the java8 stream API? Because, comparing the following, simply regarding the syntax I'd never go for the verbose stream api, but always sticking to the old foreach loop:

    //foreach
    Map<String, Integer> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
    for (String k : abk) {
        if (k != null) map.put(k, STATIC_VAL);
    }

    //streams
    Map<String, Integer> map2 = abk.stream()
            .filter(Objects::nonNull)
            .collect(Collectors.toMap(
                        Function.identity(),
                        k -> STATIC_VAL,
                        (v1, v2) -> v1,
                        LinkedHashMap::new));

Would you stick to the old approach or go with new lambda expressions?
