Delete the post count (0) next to all categories, Parent, sub categories, sidebar sub

How do I not show the post counts in category. A lot of zeros does not look good for a new site. Even when I have listings I don't want these to show.
This includes the Parent Categories and sub categories in all areas, front Page, dropdown, and sidebar.
This thread "http://appthemes.com/forum/showthread.php/7569-Hide-count-on-categories-and-subcategories" offers two methods, so which, if either is the best method.
