Ask your friends

I'm horrible at confrontation. I usually have to write down what I want to say, and eliminate any choice words, or thoughts that I feel sound too harsh, so that I get my point across clearly and not feel like I'm personally attacking him. Plus he knows, for some reason I can't do confrontation without crying and getting emotional. wtf.
In Person!
Although many may disagree, I would start the process with whatever means I had ready. So, if I had a cell phone, I would give them a call and then request a meet up.
In person
in person or by phone if that's not possible
in person so I can read what the other person is thinking/feeling
Person or phone.
in person.. I'm louder then
In person! Bring it on when I'm all fired up! That way it won't fester inside.
I hate confrontation so as much as live in person is "better", it is not something I am very comfortable with or good at. I tend to do letters because I can compose my thoughts clearly without having things escalate unnecessarily.
I think letters are good at composing thoughts that in the heat of discussion can get taken out of context and what you meant to say comes out wrong. Good points

Either in person or on the phone. Not texting, but actually talking. People these days don't understand much about face to face interaction though.
in person or phone
In-person. There you can understand the tones and expressions, or more importantly, not misinterpret. Plus, you're more likely to be empathetic and give the other person your deserved, undivided attention.
Face to Face... Although society has given us many chicken shit ways of avoidance and many would rather do that these days
In person would be better as you can have some immediate body language feedback. unfortunately some person can't express themselves well enough to talk face to face so you have to use other means with them like this Icebreaker.
