✓ Accepted Answer
There are really 3 main ways to approach best, and the right choice depends entirely on your situation.
**Option 1 — the modern alternative**
Works well when you need something proven and well-documented. The trade-off: can become complex at scale.
**Option 2 — the traditional approach**
Better suited when flexibility matters more than convention. Downside: requires more expertise to configure.
My honest take: for most people asking about best, **the modern alternative** is the safer starting point. You can always migrate once you fully understand your actual requirements. Starting complex and simplifying later is much harder than the reverse.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about best will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 4 years of working with itinerary has actually taught me.
The most common trap is spending too long on research instead of doing.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, things started moving much faster.
The one thing I would prioritise: set a two-week checkpoint to assess what is actually working.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
