How oddly appropriate that this topic came up.
1. In person, assuming that we've had more than a couple of dates. I try to sit down and talk seriously with her, explaining why I feel this way. I try to effect closure without leaving hope where there isn't any. I remain calm, and refuse to be drawn into yes-you-did-no-I-didn't arguments. I'll try to choose the place, but I don't really try to conduct a breakup in a public place to deter "scenes", despite being told this can be a good idea.
2. Not really. I haven't broken up with so many people that I have a standard approach. Everyone is different, anyway.
3. Yes; see above.
4. I plan it, or try to.
