Which of these methods do you use, and why? Which methods did I miss?

All these methods rely on a fallback host whether it is internal or external.
For a response from F5 itself you can create an irule to return a html response.
The event to use is when LB_FAILED, and to send the response you use the command HTTP::respond
With HTTP::respond you can either embed the returned html directly in the command or better call a previously created iFile.
