One bar at a time, so slowly that there are zero mistakes. The only draw back to doing this is that you first learn finger placement and then when you can speed up you have to watch that you are doing the right relative timing for the notes, the "musicallacy" of the tab can get lost a bit.
As far as memorizing goes, it's the best way to go if you can. I record most of the tunes I post way before they are memorized, with the exception of One Dime Blues. Almost all the stuff I have on sound cloud that are covers are being sight read as played. When you memorize a song it becomes so much smoother.
