I assume your talking about the best way to record guitar?

Mic the amp dude
Use an SM57
 
If it's acoustic, do you have any condenser ? and good preamps ?
 
And you will want to consider your room / acoustic.
 
let's see now for the guitar mostly electric and sometimes a classic

both clean and overdrive

no pre amps

Don't worry. Any way you mentioned will do :) I do most of my work straight guitar--> effect (drive thingee when necessary)--> mixer -->soundcard. Some time I put insert (comp/eq) on the mixer. The point is how happy you are with the character you achieve, and how good you are dealing with headroom (capture the audio without noises). Since I do so many time editing with computer, I didn't have much trouble on achieving what I'm looking for. Some people likes to mic the amp to capture the character. It deppends on your taste. For acoustic guitar, use condenser mic (unless you have certain reason to use pickup). You'll be happy with the result.

For every way you do, you better have one... at least the one bundled with your external small mixer...

quit padding your posts james :)

i would use a nice condenser for the classical guitar, and a simple dynamic for the electric (mic the amp as mentioned).
 
mic it all
for that killer guitar tone

mic mic mic mic microphone

but maybe not if you're recording bass..

but remember
for that guitar sound that's all up in your face
