There is no "best" way, only the way that works for you - that's the beauty of Nagios.
I wrote my own plugin that uses WMI to monitor a number of performance counters; it's part of the plugins in my collection at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tntmonitoringplugin . The plugin is a Windows executable, not a Linux executable, so you have to use either TNTMonitoring or NSClient++ to call it. Other approaches that may work for you are to check the roundtrip time for sending an SMTP email, or some other similar measurement that checks actual availability.
