Normal delivery: Normal delivery is the best option, provided there are no impediments. Consult with your gynecologist to plan for the tubal ligation. It will most likely be done laparoscopically.

Several: As long as you are 150% sure you are done having children, a lot of ob/gyn will do the surgery right after delivery or the following day by making a half inch incision under your belly button and tie both fallopian tubes. Many like to do it right after delivery especially if you had an epidural. Some like to wait 3-6+ mos after delivery the make sure you are sure about having your tubes tied.

No reason for C: I would not recommend a cesarean just to perform a tubal ligation. There are more risks of bleeding and infection with a cesarean than a vaginal delivery.
