to be honest there is no one best method. they all have their ups and downs.

brush painting is far easier and if you get a decent brush and decent paints (and like you say) brush in one direction you wont get brush marks.

spray cans are good for a nice overal finish but some can put too much paint down and you cant always get the colours you want.

airbrushes are the best in terms of control, you can regulate how much paint is going on (with a double action air brush), you can spray an colour you want and any type of paint with the correct thinners. but they can be expensive and you sometimes need more than one type of airbrush and various needles to get the right level of presision. also a compressor is the best way to power them and they are not cheap.
