I use the exact same guide setup as you but on an eq6
I'd suggest dropping drift align.....I used it and it ended up being nothing but a timewaster for me. I now use Sharpcap to polar align and can easily get an almost spot on alignment in minutes.....I actually 'de-align' a little once aligned because I feel it is too close to the pole for PHD2 to work effectively.
Calibration - I calibrate everytime I move the mount during an image session....I believe the 60 seconds it take to do a calibration makes a massive difference to guiding accuracy.
