For me personally, I don't take drowning damage, so underwater ravines and caves are my go to.

If you have features for lava protection, I think strip mining is best.
Honestly, I always just mine in completely random directions without a rhyme or a reason.
Just dig a straight line until you find some ore, rinse and repeat.
I think since mining world gets reset every month, it's unnecessary to make a perfect strip mine and the time spent traveling back/forth could be better utilized by just continuing to dig in any direction.
If you don't have lava protection, then I would probably opt for caves.
