Heya.
For me, it depends on the project all the time.
However, if I had to suggest something for the following situation:
I'm not used with the studio.
I never heard the band.
I haven't talked to the producer.
I have no info about the the project.
I would say go for what works 90% of the time for me in those situations:
1 - Set the click track.
2 - Record a rough "guide line" (guitar/bass/voice).
3 - Record the drums using the "guide line".
4 - Record the bass using the the drums+"guide line-bass".
5 - Record main harmony (guitars, electric guitars, keys, etc) using the drums+bass+"guide line-bass-guitar".
6 - Record the voice.
7 - Record everything else.
8 - Mix the song.
9 - Pre-master the song.
10 - Master the song.
11 - Enjoy.
=)
