This is the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet, available in SOPC builder, or seperately from the MegaWizard in Quartus. But I thought you found it, according to your first post.

I don't know what you mean by "best", it depends on your needs and resources. The easiest way would be to use a Nios CPU and an operating system with a TCP/IP stack. Without the Nios you'll need to code at least the ARP and UDP/IP protocols in hardware.
