I want to know what is the best way to shutdown cleanly?

I read that I could use either but which is best?

This is for the normal multiuser mode.

# shutdown -h now

In the single-user mode, use following from the root command prompt:

# poweroff -i -f

What's the diff...

Not sure what is best but on my freebsd server I have always used # shutdown -h now
