I use a Ctek 3300 float/pulse charger - thing rocks and you can get them $60 shipped on ebay. It absolutely extends the life of your battery and is extremely easy to use.

I prefer to never jump a car unless its absolutely necessary. If I do jump it, its not from another vehicle, its from a portable Jump starter battery.
My preference would be in this order:
1) Charge
2) Jumper Box
3) Cables
Charging the battery is the safest approach. Odd things can sometimes happen to electronics particularly if you hook up the cables wrong etc or voltages spike. There is a slight risk when you jump and electronics are expensive and tough to troubleshoot. Your risk is zero if you charge the battery.
