What's the best way of buying bitcoin? I'm after low margins and I don't mind
using a credit card, EFTPOS, or other methods that mean the seller knows my
ID.

If you mean Bitcoin as opposed to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) that was forked
from Bitcoin, then I would suggest CoinJar. CoinJar won't do BCH, but
seem good for Bitcoin.
There is also BitLio, however, BitLio was previously known as IGOT, and
IGOT has a bad reputation - do a Google search to see what I mean.
You might get better rates if you exchange with somebody in person, not
something I have had personal experience with.

Define 'best' ? :-)

Back when I investigated the problem last there seemed to be several
trade-offs:
-security and anonymity versus convenience
-conversion rate versus convenience
One of the easiest methods seems to be to use a bitcoin 'ATM';

May not give you good rates.
Actually, last time (last year IIRC) I tried the ATM in Emporium (is it
still there?) I found it didn't work. Got about 1 or 2 steps through the
dialog and the software crashed. However, that was some time ago now.
Have a vague recollection its owner may have changed also.

I've had decent experiences with BTC Markets (btcmarkets.net) in the
past, but haven't traded in a while. They are local, though and have
a somewhat useful API as well.
