Best Practice for http->https redirection?

What is the Best Practices method for doing a http->https redirect? I know you can do it with an iRule, httpclass profile, probably stream profile, etc, etc. I also realize that different use cases may have different methods, but I'm looking for the Best Practice for simple http->https redirection of a HTTP virtual server to a HTTPS virtual server.

 

Since there are so many ways to solve the problem, what is the recommended (and hopefully most resource efficient) method?

    Do you have any hard reasons for this? Or simply anecdotal evidence that other methods perform better?
