Best way to connect dual monitors

Hiya, I'm building a new PC and will be using two monitors and wonder the best way to connect them to the PC to enable them both to have full and equal functionality. Any advice is appreciated!

Plug them them into your graphics card. Best port will depend on your hardware, but will usually be Display Port or HDMI.

That's great, thanks. I'll be getting the RTX 3070 so will have 3 display ports and 1 HDMI, do you know if using two display ports, one display port and an HDMI, or daisy-chaining them from one port would be the best option?

Two Displayports. Depending on the monitor Displayport is required for G-sync too.
