As Raf Czlonka has already said, using /etc/network/interfaces and its
integration with wpa_supplicant is the way to go. You do not even need a
wpa_supplicant.conf file.
You don't, for simple setup that is indeed enough.
If you have several wireless networks you can keep your interfaces file
tidy and organised, not to mention that roaming mode won't work without
wpa_supplicant.conf file.
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid myssid
wpa-psk passphrase
I also recommend actual PSK rather than passphrase.
man wpa_passphrase.
