I don't think any way of getting high is better than the rest.
But as far as getting higher and getting the most out of your bud, pipes are the way to go.
I prefer bongs over everything else because:
less harsh than pipes.
no putting your lips around anything (hitting a pipe looks weird)
no resin on the end like a blunt/joint.
no breaking open roaches and getting it on your fingers.
no hand contact with smoke (no carb to hold, no blunt/joint to hold)
It's just overall way cleaner than everything else except for a vape.
I don't know why, but for some reason pipes, joints and blunts just make me feel dirty.
EDIT: kind of contradicts what I said, but if I wasn't smoking at home and I was out running around, I'd go with a spliff (mix of bud/tobacco for those who didn't know) just because of the convenience.
