Hi whatson, "best" really depends on a number of factors and I wouldn't want to say without more information. For example:

• What browser versionsm platforms and devices are you expecting your target user to be using?
  
  
• Are you insisting users of older or less able versions have an equal experience - or just similar? (Ideally we'd all say equal, but many folk are still surfing with ancient technology, you have to draw a line of support somewhere.)
  
  
• What is the weight of the pages. For example, are they loaded with graphics etc that already mean lots of hits on the server and slow download times already.
  
  
• Do you really need a gradient and/or is it possible to duplicate the effect of a gradient with clever design? For example, nice shadowy borders can sometimes be simulated using a double border and the right choice of colours.
