I'd say that the best practice is to pick some configuration management system like Ansible, Salt, or Puppet that Vagrant supports, and use that to keep your configuration files in version control.
The idea would be to have Vagrant provision whatever system (Salt, etc) you end up using, and then have that system (Salt, etc) provision the configuration on your machine.
