Not a lot. In as far as this pertains to postfix, just ch-ange the primary
add-ress and add aliases for the old ones. The reply-to address should be set
to the new address.
See virtual_alias_maps and relocated_maps for details.

"the best" is subjective. using relocated_maps

you make sure people will not receive mail to the old address, and any mail
must be re-sent to new address to pass.
someone may take this for unnecessary work for senders, which aren't
responsible for recipient who wished to change their address.
How does using virtual_alias_maps affect my existing configuration if
I'm not currently using virtual domains or virtual maps? Currently the
server is processing mail for one domain listed in relay_domains.
virtual_alias_maps is processed each time a mail is received, so you are
able to alias any mail recipient, even those in remote domains:

I believe the documentation of virtual_alias_maps
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_alias_maps
should be bit more clear about this.

We hae a set of users who wish to change their account names from
name123@ to just name@ and I'm trying to determine the best way to
manage that. The accounts are set up using actual password/shadow
entries with check_client_access to recipient restrictions. Users
retrieve mail using dovecot.
I've been thinking one approach would be to create password/shadow
entries for these new users and set their home directories to be the
same as their old ones, then also add new entries to the
check_client_access map. Does that make sense?
