It's tricky, because this can vary within one person across time. For example, in my area (DS), i think that the take-home gives the best signal for the actual work (as long as its well scoped).
But, as a parent of a small child, I'd much prefer to just do in-person tests/discussions as it takes less time away from my family.
So it's hard, and whatever you choose will lead to you missing good candidates.
Unfortunately, as in many areas, there's no silver bullet.
