The "best" way to define a connection string is "correctly". What do you mean?

The best way might vary based on your requirements. For instance is it ok for the connection string to be visible for the users ? Does it contain a login/pasword combination, does it need to be encrypted ?

Countered. IMO the question is vague as presented and your answer probably covers whatever it is that the OP is asking.
