I think that's really up to you, and what's easiest will depend on what 
operating system version you're running.  If you run a leading-edge 
distro such as Fedora 17 (currently in alpha) or Ubuntu 12.04 (currently 
in beta), all the dependencies you need will be there already - you can 
simply pull the Epiphany sources and build.  If your operating system is 
one release older (e.g. Fedora 16 or Ubuntu 11.10), you'll probably need 
to build WebKit and possibly other libraries as well.  I personally find 
it much easier to run a new-ish operating system, where almost all 
dependencies are built for me, than to wrestle with jhbuild.
