Personally, I downloaded the source, built it, let it install in the 
standard location (/usr/local/) and added that to my path.

I think I also hunted down old copies and deleted them from their 
standard-install locations.

Dunno, though...what are your parameters for 'best'?

I also trashed the built-in apache and built my own (again in the 
standard dir) along with postgresql and mod_ruby and eruby and 
ruby/postgres and more. The non-best aspect of this was that the 
Sharing pane in System Preferences no longer allows me to start/stop 
apache. The upside is that just about everything installed fine without 
having to point out specific directories.
