What's the best way to run diff against two folders, comparing every

Well, "best way" is very subjective. :)

I think you'll find "diff -uNr /path1 /path2" will work reasonably
well.

You can omit the -N and diff won't show you the full file contents for
files in one path but not in the other (you'll just see a line like
"file foo not in bar").

You may also want to use some of the options to suppress whitespace
differences from being displayed (-wbB is a common combination).
