It depends...

Where do you want to go?
What's the local weather?
What's the weather in the rest of the north Atlantc?

There is no simple answer. The Bahamas have literally dozens of Ports of Entry, The easiest, safest, "best", will vary.

In "regular" weather the most straight forward approach from the NE would be Man-of-War with the P-o-E at Marsh Harbor. But if there is a "Rage" on from a storm in the North Atlantic that entry, along with any other on the north or east side of the Abacos, might be be untenable.

You need to put on the big boy pants and make your own decision based on conditions at the time.
