Personally, WP-Types is my favorite way to create custom post types, and it happens to be free from the WordPress repository.

Additional Tips

If you’re using the paid version of the Types plugin (the WP Views plugin from their Toolset package) to display your CPT custom fields, follow this tip:

Views works with Pagelines.

Go to Views -> Settings and under Theme Support for View Templates put post_content.
