There may not be "a" best way.  I have used silicon, alginate, bondo, and plaster to cast.  If done correctly I seriously doubt you can get any better then bondo and resign.  Silicon is good but too expensive for most applications.  Plaster is such a cheap alternative and it works great if you use it properly.  Of course alginate will rporducte a great head but once again you have to know hoe to mix properly and to use it correctly.  I would pay attention to anything Bruch puts the pen to.

Just my opinion of course
