Answer 1

Smartest way ??

the smartest way to me is to use Modals from react-native to build a highly customizable responsive experience, you can easily set motion directions of the Modal, set transparency, toggle visibility etc etc, i personally have never user existing npm modules for implementing side drawers or navigation bars, i do this using Modals.
If you wish i can give a sample code snippet which realizes a navigation drawer using Modals
