"My preferred join is to fly parallel and close to the runway at circuit height, slightly on the deadside, and then to turn onto crosswind. It allows you to verify the runway and wind, see downwind traffic (and modify the crosswind turn accordingly, if necessary) and to arrange an efficient descent. A little lower than circuit height skylines the other aircraft."

Works fine - that's a standard RAF join procedure!
