Hi John, regardless of what method you use, it is a very good idea to make marks on the ground where the tripod feet go, or superglue washers to the ground that have just the right inside diameter for the
tripod feet to fit into. You'll be almost spot on from the word go.
The trouble with asking opinions on this subject is that everyone has their own reasons why they do or don't like or use P.A.scopes.
I'm pushing 80, and don't enjoy grovelling on my knees, or getting a crick in my neck. My scope doesn't have variable brightness, and consequently drowns out Sigma Octantis.
I can be ready for visual work in 5-10 mins, and imaging in 15-20
using the inbuilt alignment routine, happy with that.
