How to drill out a bolt?

OK guys. The time has come. I have the fuel rail and intake off my engine (3.4l). I broke a bolt on the thermostat housing and it needs to be drilled out. What are your suggestions on tools to use. I have seen a few different options, from left handed drills to easy-outs, or drilling it out completely and rethreading it, maybe even use a heli-coil. What has worked best for you guys? Just a note, the bolt is broken inside the thread hole (not flush).
