I just buy distilled water because I'm so very lazy. ("boil the water? But that would mean turning the stove on!!!") And basically I put about a teaspoon of sea salt into 8oz of water, and then use a big blue ear syringe bulb. Yeah, DIY all the way baby! hahaha.
But, I use it religiously when I get sick, and I'm quite convinced it helps me get well more quickly. I also use it when allergy season strikes, because it makes breathing so much easier. I think nasal irrigation is simply one of the best answers for nasal congestion EVER.
Definitely do it standing over a sink or in the shower, of course, and personally my suggestion is to run a full 8oz of water through there. You may think a single irrigation or two helps, but if you do the full 8oz you'll be amazed at the difference.
