I believe the best long term solution is O'Neill cylinders. They'd likely be made from lunar and asteroid mined raw material. But of course, while within the bounds of engineering possibility, they're far off. In the interim, settling surfaces (Moon, Mars, etc.) is much less difficult.

The surface of a place like ceres or the moon would at least have something to support the colony economically. Mars would be the same work if not more for little return on investment. I do agree megastructures would be the best long term solution to settlement though
