I go with the, "whatever produces the least chance of error" system.
I always check resistors with a meter and work carefully and slowly.
Even then I sometimes make a mistake so whenever possible I have someone 
else look over my work at each major new step. A fresh set of eyes will 
often instantly see the fault that my eyes keep looking past.
If I don't have someone else to do a review I take a break and they look 
at the board upside down to at least have a different angle on it.
