IMO the best would be front shock mount bolts top and bottom.

Do you know what the stock measurement for a Willy's or Sport would be? My measurement is about 24".

I'm curious why you think that would be best?

I think measuring the springs makes the most sense. You want to know how much taller the springs are, so measure the springs.

I guess in the end it doesn't matter. As long as you and the person you are comparing with are consistent.

I'm sitting at the dealership getting my last free oil change and tire rotation. I pulled in next to a new Rubicon, and my Gladiator is close to 3" taller just eyeballing it.

AEV geo brackets are for 2-4.5" of lift. Their install instructions say to take measurements from here and if it's less than 5" then they don't recommend their use. So does stock measure 3'"?

Post a pic of your gladiator, we may as well guess the height at this point.
