How does daemonizing node.js work in Ubuntu?

Question

Node.js

I apologize right away if the question seems stupid to someone - I've been with Linux for a week.
I know there are:

• Daemons like smbd that are started by start/restart/etc...
  
• Servers like nginx that are started via /etc/init.d with start/restart/etc...
  
• There are probably about a trillion other ways to autostart something in the background.
  

Question number 1: Which method of demonization is considered the most canonical and ideologically correct in Ubuntu.
Question #2: What is the best way to do this with a node.js application? There are too many solutions googled: from node-way forever and daemonize2 , to hardcore nohup &. How right?
Ideally, you want (in order of importance):

1. Ubuntu way.
   
2. Easy installation of the solution on a combat server.
   
3. Throwing a stop/restart/etc... event to node so that it can deinitialize before the process is killed.
   
4. Dev-mode with auto-restart after unhandlend exception.
   

Thanks for the help.
