The real "best interview technique" is not so much black-and-white structures-vs-unstructured. It depends a lot on the type of job you are interviewing for. Structured interviews work really really well for engineering jobs, particularly software engineering. However for marketing, sales, finance, assistant, etc. jobs, the unstructured interview questions work quite well. These are the jobs for which "Tell me the time when..." actually works.
