I would say use commercial-level aeronautical decision making and resource management. There's an asvanced cockpit display that will do your diversion calculations in less than a minute, but it has limitations.
If you are familiar with the G1000 enough to use NRST, evaluate the different airports and choose best option with a route that doesn't take you through hazards, use it. Don't be surprised if the G1000 gives you a course straight through a mountain, weather or airspace. Be ready to adjust the course to keep safety in mind.
Use paper charts if you only know how to navigate via direct-to-enter-enter. Limit exposing your less proficient skillsets, but make plans to get comfortable with cockpit displays. I would only go to the checkride when familiar with all the equipment in the aircraft, it's all fair game on the practical.
Be ready and able to do either method. Talk to other students or the examiner to get an idea which method is preferred.
