so what is the best balancing method

I am running American Racing wheels as seen in a lot of my posts. I just pulled all 4 tires off and removed all weights that were on it and cleaned the inside of the rims for my new tires that will be here tomorrow. I found both front tires had a clip on weight on each one of them along with sticky weights. On all 4 wheels I saw where there was some sticky weights there at one time but had come off. The sticky was still there but it separated where the weight was glued to the sticky. So it is not a question of the weights sticking to the back of the rim, they are separating. I have a shop in mind but I am still looking at another one also. Have not made up my mind yet. I asked the one about road force and he told me that it is not as good as people think. I don't know who to believe.
