How do you write a character's internal monologue?

I've seen two main methods of writing a character's inner monologue
One is to use italics
Dean is being silly thought Sam
Another is to quote the text
"Dean is being silly" thought Sam
Or you could avoid it altogether and simply relate what the character thought
Sam thought Dean was being silly.
Personally I don't like to quote thoughts as it can lead to confusion between their speech.
What is the correct way to indicate that you're quoting their internal monologue as opposed to your characters' spoken word?
