charging a fully discharged car lead acid battery

I have a car with a battery that is completely discharged (accessory left on for over 24 hours). Read 0 volts.
What is the best way to remedy this?
a) jump start - it seems to not be a good option as it dumps high current into the dead battery. If you're on the road somewhere, sure, you need to get going but jump starting seems to be undesirable.
b) put it on a battery charger, one of those 5/10/25 amp ones. If so, which rate is the best for a completely flat battery?
There seems to be a lot said about sulfate build up on batteries. It seems to be an unsettled subject on the Net, as many say one thing but an equal number refute it. One claim in interesting to me- that leaving a lead acid battery in flat condition for a long time caused sulfate build up. Is this true, and what is a "long time"? Are we talking days, weeks, or months?
