What's the best way to attach shrouds onto a lightsaber?

screws are most common. hidden or as a clever accent depends on the builder and your general aesthetic. You can have them in plain sight like how The starkiller has three button heads on either side. Or you can use covertech button or box attached on the shroud through to the actual saber. Many many ways. get creative. Also you can always glue or jb weld but that also makes it permanent in most cases, and if you do get it apart you have some cleaning up\repair to do.

Luckily for me, I'm working on a Starkiller Replica so like Snilam said, I have the button head screw option for the graflex shroud on the emitter end, I'm also going to be cutting a hole in the shroud for my Activation box to sit down in which will hold the shroud in place as well. For the grip, I plan to use 1/4" 10-32 set screws to hold the grip shroud on the saber body.
