Is there a "best" way to get whichever perl is in your path?

I hadn't seen the env version before, nice.

I also agree, in many cases the shebang line should point to a fixed Perl. I can even see an argument for not giving any shebang hints, and always invoking the perl binary explicitly from an external source.
