I have version 8 of Ghostscript on my Ubuntu 10.04 server.
What is the easiest way to install version 9? Source install? PPA? Something else?

The recommended way is (as posted before):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ghostscript
If you need a newer version than provided by your Ubuntu-Version:
mkdir -p ~/prgm
cd ~/prgm
wget https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs10021/ghostscript-10.02.1.tar.gz
tar xvf ghostscript-10.02.1.tar.gz
cd ghostscript-10.02.1/
sudo ./configure
sudo make install
#restart Terminal
gs -v
ghostscript -v
tar xvf ghostscript-10.02.1.tar.gz
)sudo ./configure
sudo make install
gs -v
To check your version (maybe after restarting terminal)
ghostscript -v
ghostscript is not found under Ubuntu Software Center
So, either install it from there or you can just update your current version to latest one:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ghostscript
If that doesn't work download one of the following:
Then:
sudo dpkg -i /path-to-downloadedpackage.deb
