A 1/4" lap is what I've always done. Once you get everything grinded clean and fitting nice, use some self tapping screws to draw everything tight and start welding from above. Brush on some Chassis Saver paint or POR-15 to coat both sides, then run some seam sealer around the underbody joint and spray bomb it all black.

Depends on if you are going for a 100% factory look or not. If you are just repairing it and don't care if it looks perfect, just lap it and seam seal it, otherwise you will need to do a lot of fitting and butt weld it.
