Great question! :)

First & foremost, learn it both ways to get you hands on it & to learn how each sounds. Next, the best way is the one that matches the intention of the player. There is a case to be made that objectively the best way is the one that most closely follows first the melody and second the harmonic structure of the tune. But once you've established that you are playing some specific series of notes in rhythm and it is in some way integrated with or refers to the tune, then it is often simply a matter of personal choice.

Glad you are finding the arpeggios study useful! That is solid foundation stuff in jazz. And associating the chord tones with the sound of each note in context (and of course the physical motion of playing it) is an excellent idea.

[QUOTE=RiskyNZ]Still a long way to go though, especially looking at most jazz tunes where the changes come so quickly!

I feel the same way. :) Sometimes all you can do is get 3 or 4 notes in on a quick change. You really have to make them count, or else you sound like you're just a noodling rock guy hacking up a jazz tune. :p

This is fun! Let me know how it goes.
