Wou;dn't this rely heavily on the overall scale of your scene and 
the "look" you require?

As to how best to handle it, wouldn't that also depend on how you 
want your scene to look again?  Nighttime?  Day?  Realistic? 
Stylized?  There a re a lot of options here... including creating 
  little media clouds or even CSG clouds with partial transperent 
textures (which could have a cute candyland kind of appearence 
while obviously not real still lending to the overall look of the 
image) instead of the usual paint them onto the sphere look most 
people turn to.

Most people create a sphere and texture the inside with various 
noises to simulate clouds and blue sky, sometimes sunsets.
