I'm not sure about interfolio being the "best", but for some schools I believe it is the required avenue for LOR delivery, while at others it goes highly recommended.

Interfolio works great. I used it to send all my recommendation letters. Its convenient for you and for people who are writing you a recommendation. For older professors who can't seem to figureout how to sign using mouse, I just asked them to mail a hard copy to interfolio, and once interfolio received it, send it to all schools.

It will make your life (while applying to medical school) A LOT easier. Your LOR are electronically sent, or mailed for some medical schools that are still behind times and its pretty cheap compared to the service at my university. The schools get your letters pretty quickly so you're complete sooner since letters are one of the main reasons why apps are not complete.

After receiving some secondaries, it seems a lot of schools want LORs on offical letter head. Should I forward this to all my LOR writters? I had told them to simply upload the LOR to interfolio via the instructions. Wouldn't the writter have to print it off on letter head then send it in/scan it to the computer for the letter head to appear? Thanks in advance if this is a rediculous question. 😳

Not necessarily. Usually professors will have their department's letterhead as a word template file, so your letter writer could just write his/her letter on the letterhead template, insert their signature and save it as a .pdf to upload to interfolio. That way it would have the department letterhead/signature on it and look better than if they had printed it out and re-scanned it.
