Well, best practices wouldn't edit the core WordPress files at all but make any changes via the theme's functions file or plugins.

Doing it via the theme's functions file or a plugin means you spend the time once and can update WordPress core with no issues - doing it in the core WordPress files means you spend time everytime WordPress updates to make your changes again.
