I'm going to put some new thermal compound on my computer and I was wondering what technique would be best.

The most popular would be to put a rice gain sized drop in the middle and putting the cooler on or the line method for large CPU's like the LGA 2011 types.

^Basically what I do.

It doesn't really matter as long as you use the right amount and it's centered on the cpu.
