Remember to sanitize the hydrometer and graduated cylinder if you're planning on putting the sample back into the carboy after taking a reading. Otherwise, just make sure they're good-n-clean.

I use the thief that came with my kit. The siphon or turkey baster are perfectly good, just sanitize well.
I use the end of my auto siphon (the larger tube with the valve). I take off the trub barrier, stick it in the carboy, and give it a few shakes -- viola I have my sample. It works great!
