Let's say you were a very important piece in the game, and your boss would get really mad if you left to another job. Would you give your two week notice to your boss over the phone? (To give him time to calm down, think about it, and talk a couple of days later with a cold head)

No, two week's notice must be in writing. Out of respect, you should have been honest with your boss that there were problems causing you to look elsewhere for employment. That would have given him ample time to evaluate and correct the problems. He would have respected your opinion, especially since you say you are an important piece.
You could email the boss, and say you have a few things that you want to discuss. And, then tell him in person. Its just not professional to do it, over the phone. If you think he will go bizzerk, then just put your notice in his "in box". Let him think it over, and come to you and talk about it when he is ready.

Your boss seems to have a little more ties to you then an employer, employee relationship. He should want you to move ahead for the better. But I will do it the right way and put in my 2 weeks notice, never burn bridges. Dont forget to find out any time you are entitled too, and take it before you leave. You dont wont to give them free work. You may be able to use that time as your 2 weeks notice, if you have enough hours to take. But check on your time before giving your notice.

Give the two week notice in person, not over the phone. Make him mad and you might not get a good reference on future jobs.

Don't you want his reference for the new job?
Besides, what goes around, comes around. It's a small world - you might run into this guy some day. It's probably a safe bet that you don't go back to that company, but what if that guy were to get a job at the same place you were.
Don't burn your bridges behind you. You may need them someday.

Tell it right to his face. Whether you tell him now or later, he is going to be crossed by it. So there is not much of a difference there.

Type it up and submit it in person.
