Use a low gear. Which gear you should use depends on how steep a hill you are talking about and also how far down does the hill go. and are you using a standard or automatic transmission. Common sense should tell you to use a lower gear if the vehicle accelarates to much.

It depends on how steep the hill is and how heavy your vehicle is. If you find that when going up the hill in second gear you are getting too many RPM's, then yes shift up to third. But generally you should keep in the lowest gear possible, without overrevving the engine, especially if you're driving a loaded van or other heavy car.
