my method is with the magic wand tool for starters or the extractor tool (depending on the complexity of the image it doesn't work terribly well all the time).
You can also copy the layer/channel, use threshold, levels, posterization, etc, to create a nice crisp line around the outside edge of your selection and THEN use the magic wand tool.
It's all about cutting down the time in the initial setup phase. You can tweak after it's been roughed in with the pen tool.
BUT the bottom line is: there's no one clear way to do it.
Have fun!
