If you don't rent a car, there is not a BEST way to get to Orient from the airport. There is the ONLY way, which is a cab.
I also can't imagine being without a car in SXM. But I guess if you are just going to limit yourself to Orient, you don't need one. But if the weather is bad or there is tons of sargassum, you might well wish you had a car.

We stayed for a week in the village without a car.There are car rental agencies at the Grand Case airport if you want to get one for a day or two. They will deliver it to you and on time I dropped it off and they drove us to the airport. The front desk at your hotel can hook you up.

Personally speaking, I can’t imagine NOT renting a car but that said,, there are many days when it remains parked outside our door for days at a time so really, it’s all about you and your trip plans. And even having a rental car there are times and situations when we choose to use a taxi. Bottom line, you don’t absolutely need a car but it sure is a bonus to us to have one.
Respectfully,

I agree staying only for 5 days in Orient, a car is not necessary. If you want to go into Grand Case for dinner, a cab will get you there and safely get you home after a few drinks.
