Not entirely correct.  pam_winbind.so is for unix services
like sshd.
smbd itself can ask winbindd directly to authenticate
a user against the Windows DC.  The advantage here is that
winbindd caches socket connections to the DC and there doesn't
have the tcp setup and tear down and machine credentials
validation to go through everytime.  And winbindd minimizes the
actual number of connections to the DC (rather than one per smbd
process).

If you don't like winbindd, you could use NIS (from Windows SFU) or
nss_ldap.

Advantage : UID GID and other UNIX attributes are stored directly in AD.

What's the best?

Or you can use idmap_ad to read those attributes in the directory :-)
