There is lots of literature on this subject, and you should carefully read
the section called "Choices affecting free energy calculations" of the (Amber
7 and earlier) Users' Manual.
I think that in almost every case, thermodyanmic integration is the method
of choice for "alchemical" changes. This is in fact the only method supported
in current versions of Amber.
