Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
As for the different types of performing Hajj, then there are 3:
1) Hajj at-Tammatu (To perform Hajj and Umrah seperately)
2) Hajj al-Qiraan (To perform Hajj and Umrah in combination)
3) Hajj al-Ifraad (To perform Hajj by itself)
Then as for the best of those 3, then the best performance of Hajj at-Tammatu. However this is for the pilgrim who has NOT brought with him/her a sacrificial animal with him/her, as the Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa salem) said after the sa'ee between as-Safaa and Marwah "...if I had known before what I knew afterwards, I would NOT have brought my sacrifiacial animal and would have made it Umrah. For anyone amongst you who has not brought a sacrificial animal, come out ihraam and make it an Umrah..."
