It depends on the kind of work you want done and whether you're using any simple machines.

In case you aren't using any simple machines and you are applying force directly, it is best to apply force in the direction of motion desired.

How does force affect the motion of an object?

If you apply force to an object, you accelerate it. If you apply the force in the direction that the object is moving, you speed it up. If you apply it in the opposite direction, you slow it down. If you apply the force in another direction than the object is moving in you will change the direction of the objects motion. The amount of acceleration is given by a = F/m where a is acceleration, F is force and m is the mass of the object.
