I've heard of several ways to stop momentum while being unwillingly thrown out of the screen.

First was to jump and quickly up-b which is suppose to stop momentum, but is that any good for flying out of the screen upward, or should this only be used for being spiked, as i'm guessing a simply hop+up-b can just as well add to flying out of the top of the screen.

Second is by holding control stick in opposite way you have been thrown and mashing c-stick also in the opposite direction repeatedly.

Which techniques would be best for each direction you are being thrown?
Are there any other techniques I have not heard about?
