What is the best way to get from La Guardia to Manhattan?

Car service is the best way

Don't you just love ambiguous post headers? I often don't read the posts. Ambiguous questions. "Best" is a funny word. There is no "best" anything. It all depends on your needs and your constraints.

IMO, taxi.

It depends on your budget. Regular taxi is best if unlimited funds. Airport Bus, city bus, or city bus-to-subway if you are on a budget, depending on where you are staying.

I think taxi is better than car service, especially at the central terminal. All black town cars look alike and finding a particular car & driver can be a pain.

One downside with taxi it that during peak hours there can be a wait in the taxi queue.

Taxi

How many people? How much luggage? How willing to haul luggage up and down stairs in the subway? How much do you value cost versus convenience? Where in Manhattan?

I would only ever do a cab -- but I'm beyond the stage of dragging luggage around on the bus and subway.

There is a huge queue of cabs on the right side of the AA building.

Taxi or car service (www.dial7.com)

Typically I choose taxi unless I'm landing at rush hour or during the holidays, when the taxi lines can be quite long. In those situations, I reserve a Dial 7 car.

Car services like Carmel do nto always have car services waiting for you. Some wait until you land, you call, and then they see who is at the airport.
