Ending off threads in Cross Stitch

How do I finish off the ends in cross stitch?  Everyone seems to do it differently.

Well, why dont you try them all and see what works best for you?

I usually weave in the end under existing stitches in the back.
I also park the end tail away where more stitches will be, but I mostly do full coverage patterns.
