The BEST way is a personal subject. I wouldn't PERSONALLY do it that
way, I would use a constuctor method which I always call init(), this
creates all my object property defaults in the variables scope and
returns the object:-
<cffunction name="init" access="public" output="false"
returntype="myObject" hint="This is the pseudo-contructor.">
<cfscript>
variables.fName = "Simon";
variables.sName = "Baynes";
return this;
</cfscript>
</cffunction>
The return this; returns the object defined in the returntype of the
cffunction. So you can then call it like so:-
variables.oMyObject = createObject("component", "myObject").init();
Then you set your properties with setter methods.
As I said it is personal preference, you can set data before any
cffunction calls but as I said before I am not a fan.
