This is a question often asked by beginners, and it is never a question that 
you should be asking (yourself).  By asking such a question you only invite 
suggestions based on subjective instead of objective reasons.

Because there is never only one best implementation.  Each implementation 
has its advantages and disadvantages, and different people have different 
preferences.  People can be wrong in their preferences, and you do not want 
to carry the problems of their misjudgement just because you have not 
thought carefully enough about a problem.

First you need to define (for yourself) *what* you want to achieve, then you 
can ask (yourself) about *ways* to do it, and only then you can reasonably 
decide on what is *best for you in the respective specific situation*.

Not the other way around.
