I would go with a stencil to start to make sure the solder paste ends up in the right spots.
www.proto-advantage.com has inexpensive single-chip stencils.
Make sure your layout includes vias under the part for cooling from the ground planes.

Ok. Thanks! I'm going to solder the first few boards by hand (will be pretty hard), then go with solder stenciling.
