I use 2 and 5. However in the past I used arrow keys until I got some advice from Sepha would told me that 2 and 5 is much better. Now that I am used to 2 and 5 I can't agree more as it leaves my left hand free to use hotkeys although I still never control group.

After trying all methods my favourite by far is using the tac map (with spacebar as hotkey for it)

Here are the reasons why:
-With spacebar i can easily get the tacmap without moving my hand for other hotkeys.
-For me its much more precise then clicking on the minimap and thus i never have to adjust my screen after moving across the map
-It keeps my mouse in the center of the screen where my units are, i don't have to move my mouse to the bottom left of the screen all the time as i have to do with minimap.
-Because i use the tacmap for almost every screen movement i get an overview of the battlefield every few seconds, which helps me keep track of units and prevents squad losses.
-I can move across the map faster when using tac map then when using the minimap (because of mouse positioning)

For small distances (about one screen size away) i use my mouse to the edge of the screen (with high movement speed).

2 and 5, probably you should also use hotkeys for your troops,so that you can jump to them.

Btw, I also use the unit Icons in the upper right, if you doubleclick them you also jump to the unit (i think ), or you can just use it to retreat without even looking at the unit.
