As a heavy user of the command line, youtube-dl is my favourite method by far! It works for sites other than YouTube too.

youtube-dl integrates very well with ffmpeg and mpv, and is nicely scriptable. The only downside is keeping updated, but the devs are pretty good about it.

YouTube-DLG (with a GUI) makes it super easy to update.
