I've also looked into dual language books.
Will either of these pay off in the long run?
What techniques would you recommend I try for building my Spanish vocabulary?

Yes, both will help a lot, but everybody learns in different ways. I found that flash cards are excellent when used in small batches to begin with, increasing the size of batch to mix known and new words. The whole process can be dry and tedious, so finding somebody else to help makes it more fun.
