To some extent what is best depends on what you are looking for....

ie. inexpensive easiest etc.

 

Super shuttle and airlink run shared service at about 18.00 per person each way. A cab is $45.00 plus tolls and tips per car. Car services will pick you up for about the same(see Carmel for instance). You can take the airlink train to the subway and get a bus for about $7.00 per person(but it hard with luggage)....and you will still need to walk a couple of blocks. there is bus service to port authority in Manhattan where you can get a cab....

 

if you look at http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/airports/html/ken_transportation.html under JFK these are all listed.

I would recommend a cab. Carmel Car was bad when I used them. They are about $15 dollars more, even when you figure out after tips. I had to wait 20 minutes for my Carmel "car". You can just pick up a cab anywhere at the airport.
