Depends what you mean by "best". The easiest way: In your web.config file: in the <system.web> section, modify the customErrors element to:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/Pages/MyCustomErrorPage.aspx" />

The 404 page not found situation is a little different. First you need to modify the FileNotFoundPage of the SPWebApplication object and give it a new file name, which you can code in a feature or do with Powershell. SharePoint looks for this 404 page in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 (assuming English locale) - you can't give it a full path or URL. – SPDoctor♦ Dec 28 '10 at 10:36

Write a HttpModule to handle the onerror event, and redirect to the custom error page.
