Well it kind of depends on what you need the hand to do. My current rig setup has a control object that allows you to curl each finger from that object, whilst still maintaining individual joint control as well, using an FK setup. I also have a controller that allows for finger spread. (would require a little extra bit of expression scripting for a normal hand as my character only has 2 fingers.)
Generally all this is done using wired parameters & list controllers.
If you like I can go into detail, but it will be quite a long post.
