ADO .NET Connection Best Practice

I have a middle tier dll that will be accessing SQL Server 2000 with ADO .NET. What is the best way to do my connection? Adding a user to SQL Server or using the Windows authentication

It really depends, but in general, using Windows Authentication is
considered more secure and it's definitely easier to maintain.
