I would think that a FEA would be the easiest? I am however hesitant to use it since I'm not that aware of the limitations of using FEA.

Doing manual checks can get a bit complex though when one has funny column arrangements for example something like this: http://imgur.com/KYwxgwt.
I think the best option would be to go on a course to educate myself and make sure my models are as accurate as possible.
