Isn't a question of which is "best ", it is a question of how much you need and how often you take it.  You definietly don't need 5000 mcg daily, though!

I take 5000 mcg once a week (and have for several years), and that is what works for me.

How much, and how often depends on your body, and only blood work will tell you what is too much or just enough..

Sublingual did not do anything for me. My body could not retain B12. No matter how much I took. Now I get B12 shots once a week.

What ^^^ those guys said. I take a 2,00 sublingual once per week, in addition to whatever I might get from my multi -- if anything.

Everyone's mileage will vary. You'll be adjusting amounts the rest of your life, and need to stay on top of it.
