I think it is better to measure how many ticks it takes for full rotation of the shaft (or 90°, I used bubble level for this.. this is how I found out the numbers, it is easy if you are using Bartel's software).
Try and find old printer with timing belt, this is the best

I use ASCOM driver have a built in test results and I can accurately work out the resolution at any time. For friction I will be finding the hardest possible drive wheels to the stickiest compromise to come up with a satifactory solution. The DOB base is damn hard, only the wheels I have not yet checked.
