Wow, anonymous, this is not a telephone,
would anyone recommend the best / easiest way
No, I hope not.
"best" and "easiest" are subjective in programming,
so my "best" and "easiest" and your "best" and "easiest" programming
cannot and should not be the same.
of implementing a bot checker?
Easiest == shortest code?
I've heard of CAPTCHA, session length timers, random 2
numbers to add, etc... any more effective and easier than the others?
What bots do you want to check and why?
What do you mean by "bots", "crawlers" perhaps?
What would you do with the results of your "check",
publish them or put them in a database or change the page,
or do you really mean "bot-stopper"?
It the latter, do you want to stop google-bot too?
Do you want to do this, whatever it is that you want to do, serverside?
