New to Nexus S, which root method?

There seems to be a few, wanted to make sure I go with the most recent/successful method.

The recommended method of course is to get your hands dirty and learn about adb and fastboot commands. If you're on PC, you'll have to install android SDK and Java and the device's drivers and after that it should be easy to follow instructions you can find in various threads here in the NS forum. If you have a Mac though, it's even easier as you don't need to download the whole SDK and Java. I can attest to this as I just finished flashing factory images and custom recovery via fastboot on my wife's macbook air and it worked really well. You can find step by step instructions here. Good luck!

You could take the adb command method, or you could make it easy on yourself and use Wugfresh's toolkit

Thanks I've fooled around with adb some with older phones but it's been a while, I'll give that a shot first.

I second the NexusRoot Toolkit by Wugfresh approach! Really helpful and it certainly doesn't hurt to know the SDK along side that.
