“Best” would depend on what you are trying to do.

If you are “tweaking/tuning/learning/testing” etc .. rules then a pcap definitely works better than trying to use live 
traffic.

Even with live traffic you may want to log things in binary format that alert.

Then come back and analyze them later.

What is the best way to set snort up?  Either have it just look at the live packets as they come in or to form a pcap 
then to look into the pcap?
