Without a doubt doing cardio in the morning on an emtpy stomach. You can increase the rate of fat burning by using ripped fuel, caffiene or other fat burning stimulant.
3 mornings a week for 45 minutes will do wonders.
The reason for the efficient fat loss is because your body is in a fasting state and when you wake up you have little glycogen reserves. Therefore the fat burning process begins earlier.

Cardio is cardio.
The most efficient way to burn fat is a good clean diet.
You can't target burn fat anyway, so why does it matter if you're rollerblading at 70% for 30 mins or walking at 70% for 30 mins? Your body just knows it's burning cals.
Personally, I like to alternate sprints with long 60 min moderate sessions because the sprints keep burning long after the sprinting stops ("cardio" stops when you stop, for the most part), and I get a solid anabolic response from it (as opposed to the catabolic response from long term stressful work).
I should attach the disclaimer that only do cardio when I have to (outside of fun stuff like biking with my son, long walks, hiking, etc...).

In terms of time of day, do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Otherwise, do it AFTER WEIGHTS.
I prefer to keep weight and cardio days separate, but if you have to do them back to back: EAT-->WEIGHTS-->CARDIO.
The exception is sprints...approach sprints like a weight training session. EAT (just not RIGHT before
).
I don't do cardio when I'm trying to grow or increase strength...if I do, it's maybe just the usual fun stuff listed above, purely for heart health (which doesn't require much beyond 3 x a week @ 20 mins).
Depending on the KIND of cardio you do and how you fuel yourself for it, it can tear your muscles up, and you may not tap into fat as well as you think. Have to get through all the other fuels first.
