My personal preference for all acclimation is the drip method. You get a small piece of silicon tubing (you can buy it by the foot at home depot/etc.) for next to nothing. Fill it with water like you are going to siphon with it and then attach it to the container with the fish. You raise/lower the container next to the tank to slow down/speed up the drip rate.
This is the most gentle method for acclimation that takes into consideration water chemistry and temperature. Takes about 2 minutes to setup and I'll normally acclimate for 30min-1hour unless it's a really fragile species (shrimp/etc.).
