It depends on your needs. If you're only going to connect to one or two networks, using wpa_supplicant and learning wpa_cli will be managable. The Arch wiki has an excellent step-by-step wpa_cli example. However, if you're travelling from place to place and hopping networks, then you may find that kind of maintenance tedious and opt to use wpa_gui instead. It certainly isn't fancy but it is featureful and user-friendly.
