Best way is the way the dealers do it. They have an attachment that replaces the coolant resevoir
cap. It takes just a few seconds to pull off any excess air. .... Second best, IMO is to use the bleed hole while holding the coolant res. as high as possible.

They force the coolant using pressure.. I've seen more than one older radiator blow up this way...
with a wee bit too much pressure... oops. I'd hate to pop the heater core by accident.. But yeah, any time you can pressure bleed the coolant, you're gonna have a much easier time than the 'old fashioned' way...
