D&D DMG 3.5 Method 5: Organic Characters
My preference is for method 5, Organic Characters, from the D&D 3.5 DMG.
"Roll 4d6 six times, discarding the lowest die each time. Place in order...as rolled. Reroll any one ability score of your choice, taking the new roll if it's higher. Then switch any two ability scores. This method allows some choice but doesn't let a player have all her ability scores exactly where she wants them. A character might have to learn to cope with unwanted clumsiness (just as in real life), or she may have a personal talent that isn't usual for a member of her class (such as a high Strength score for a sorcerer)."
