The best practice known to me is plain simple don't use them. There might however be some corner cases when you want to use a finalizer, particularly when dealing with unmanaged objects and you can't implement Dispose pattern (I do not know legacy issues) then you can implement Finalize method with caution (and it could reduce the performance of your system, make your objects undead and other possibly weird scenarios, minding the exceptions as they are uncatchable:)).

In 99% of cases just write the use Dispose pattern and use this method to clean after yourself and everything will be fine.
