There is no best way, it's a local policy decision, I would say
(I can't imagine the extra indirection a symlink adds will add
a significant performance hit).
I would probably use a symlink, and switch like this:
cd /var/spool
# kill off exim's daemon here
mv exim exim.old && ln -s /new/spool/for/exim exim
mv -i exim.old/* exim/.
# restart exim
rmdir exim.old
This allows a minimal switchover period (for local mail
submission even though the server is down).
