Best practice is to not have public class variables.


instance. private class variables

That was true of CFMX 6.0 but CFMX 6.1 has 'variables' scope and you should explicitly qualify all of your non-public class variables with 'variables'. Note that these are non-public variables - they are not really private variables (they are more like protected variables in Java). If you need your code to run on 6.0 as well as 6.1, then stick to 'instance'.


var VariableName for private function variables

Yes, although most folks would call them local function variables. They exist only for the execution of that function (and they are created anew with each execution of that function).
