There isn't any "best way".  If it is an improvement, you depreciate.  If it is a repair, you expense.

Repairs & Improvements are NOT interchangeable terms.

A repair is not restricted to "less than 2% of unadjusted basis".

An Improvement will depreciated using MACRS (assuming the property is on US soil), using the appropriate convention.
