Which method is the better to receive socket data in Java?

I try to write the code the receive the socket data by create a thread.But my workmate say that I should use ScheduledExecutorService because the thread may be hang or crash.

 //this is my code 1
   ExecutorService  executorService= Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
   executorService.execute(new receiveThread());
  //this is my code 2
  new receiveThread().run();
 //the thread:
 class receiveThread implements Runnable{
    @Override
    public void run() {
        while (true) {
            try {
               dealWithReceiveData()
            } catch (Exception e) {
                logger().error(logMsg() +  ExceptionUtils.getStackTrace(e));
            }
        }
    }
}

And my workmate's suggestion:

   private ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(10);
   scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(new receiveThread(),0,30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Is my workmate's suggestion right?I think the two way is the same effect because I have add try catch
