Killing an engine with mags or mixture for purposes of engine out training is NOT recommended in flight training-- because instead of "practicing" an emergency-- you now have one (albeit self induced). Great discussion on this topic BUT I really recommend you all get with a good instructor and practice this first before you read about it on the internet and then go do it. Too many variables to describe here to do the topic justice.

One question: what would be the better way to shut down for easy restart?
Mags or mixture? -Bill Wade

Bill, I would use mixture.  Using the mags allows gas to wash down the cylinders, which in my opinion is not a good thing.  Additionally by just pushing the red knob in will bring the engine back to life without any worry of fouled spark plugs.  Personally, I would slowly push the red knob in.  How slowly would depend on whether or not I was about to land at a desirable spot.
