This article discusses 4 ways how to do animations:

• Storyboard-based animations created in a) Xaml, b) code
• Per-frame animations
• Timer-based animations

There is no "best way", i.e. the answer depends on your goal. Basically

• Storyboard animations are nicest (highest frame rate), take most CPU cycles (because they make use of a privileged thread), support only primitive property types. You also have to learn respective API that can be used either in Xaml or in the code.
• The other 2 types provide less fluent, but more CPU-effective approach. You have no limitations, but also no support - in other words you have to do everything yourself. (Which is often easier than using the Storyboard language.)
