One advantage to what I was doing and I will probably still do it when I have a guide camera is that I was using my main scope (So in my case long focal length) for the alignment, that will mean any error will show up a lot more noticeably. Once I get a guide cam (Budget, always budget!) I will probably use PHD and the guide cam in the main scope when setting up as it should make the error much more pronounced, then move the guider to the guidescope.
