I am a big believer in 4d6-the lowest for all stats.
This Season of Encounters we did this in a fun group way in which we went around the table taking turns rolling our stats in order–STR! DEX! CON! INT! WIS! CHA!
Because of some truly horrible rolling I let the party decide if they wanted one bonus roll which they could use for any stat, but they would have to keep it no matter what. I made it one of those classic D&D Challenges in which the entire group had to agree & since their were 9 players and one DM I knew it would be a challenge to overcome the defiant ones…The party was able to convince even the most contrarian player to go for the reroll [a good sign for the coming season, as every DM knows]. The rolled the bonus stat & it worked out well for everyone.
Jack, Jake, & Thor had a blast during character creation.
Carlos was fairly new to the process–as were we all–we did not have a book just a mashed up collection of printouts and one tablet. Jake was using his phone. We really should have gone with Pathfinder or 4E that actually have books–using printouts is silly.
Jack did do some great custom portraits for several players.
