Preferably with a device and a pool to mine at  
Maybe you want to tell if you already have a device to mine with?

Unless you have a mining farm and lots of capital with cheap electricity, at the high difficulties and current price I would not recommend mining if you want a profit, if you are doing it just for fun or learning however, http://www.coindesk.com/information/how-to-mine-litecoin/

So would it best just to buy them and hold for couple years?

This is the suggest method - if you've got cheap/free electricity and can make a good deal on hardware, then sometimes it can be profitable to buy miners if you know what you're doing.

Just play it safe - the easy route is to buy and HODL.

Well, I am not really a good guy to recommend holding for a couple years as I know little about investment, but with scrypt profitability going all the way rock bottom, it wouldnt be bad to hold some. Personally I have more holdings in btc and other non scrypt altcoins than litecoin. No one knows what any crypto will be like a year or even a week in the future, so all I can say is do some research and see what will work out best for you , cheers!

Investment = buy low, sell high 
It's some kind of gambling. Watch the LTC chart for the last 12 months, nobody knows what will happen. Like he said:

Important: Only invest an amount that you can afford to lose.

LTC are a lot cheaper atm and its best time to buy them instead of all the mining hassle, and waiting for months to make ROI.
