Well the approved way is to use the functions you mention such as
PEM_read_X509(). PEM_ASN1_read() is a low level function which has various
internal dependencies which may change over time: so it may not work in
future.

Very old code (in the SSLeay days, 5+ years ago!) did call PEM_ASN1_read() directly 
because
there weren't any PEM_read_X509() functions back then.
