Whatever you're more comfortable with. When I did mine I used a combination of neutral and foot on the brake, handbrake if I knew I'd be there ages or shoved it into first with the foot on the clutch if I knew it was about to go green.

It really depends. If I arrive as they turn red I put it out of gear and handbrake on. If I think they will change soon I engage gear and ready to move off.
