What is the right/recommended way to develop against of PayPal platform:

Use the New PayPal SDK (https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/paypal-sdk-index)
Use the legacy PayPal SDK (which is quite old right now)
Just send raw HTTPS requests following NVP protocol (in the end they are just REST-like API), and do not depend on any official API (just depend on the official NVP protocol description)

Which one is considered the right way to go?
