Question Best method for .com and .net?

What is the best way to direct traffic to my xxx.com from xxx.net

I own both and was wondering if forwarding with a 301 or is a 301 in the htaccess file better? Or, is there a better preferred way. I want to keep the search engines happy.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I think that the best way is to use a mod_rewrite

If you guys have a minute to explain how to do that (the 301 in the htaccess) I'd appreciate it a lot.

Thanks!

I did the 301 redirect from an old domain name to a new one and this is the code that i used in the .htaccess file.

Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) http://www.DOMAINHERE.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Good Luck
