Best practises when connecting to sql server DB's

We are currently using ODBC to connect to MSSQL 

The first datbase instance i connected to i was just givevn a username and password and all worked fine

The second DB im trying  to connect to via a service account that was created . It didnt work . I was told the SQL dev owner needs to approve the qlik service account when it trys to access the DB in our company . (The Service account is linked to the Qlik service account , the ODBC User DSN name appears ) but connection fails as the QLIK SERVICE ACCOUNT(which is different from my service account) needs access to the DB

The third option is i use my windows integrated ID  to logon to MS SQL DB's . 

 

Which is best practise , will using my windows ID cause the model to fail if my password expires or i leave the company when deployed to PROD 

Somone spoke of using a generic account , others a service account . Which route would you recommend .
