ICE-EOI here as well. IMO it is the most accurate way to go, ensures you are on the base circle of the lobe you are adjusting. Once you get used to it, it will go quickand you just go down the line.

I use the Mopar decal because with an accurately marked damper I can set the valves on the same exact spot every time. This way you can keep records and notice if something is going wrong. If you use the other method you may not be at the same spot everytime.
BTW I looked at my cam while using the Mopar method and they are indeed on the base circle and I have a fairly radical mechanical roller.

Also need to add that I set them cold initially then warm the engine. Set a couple cylinders then allow it to cool overnight. Then I go back and measure those cylinders and that is my cold lash number so I can adjust them all cold that way. Makes for less mess and no burns.

I use the mopar chart, set them cold... doesn't take long. Next time I might pull the plugs, turning it over by hand with the plugs in is a bieoutch. Is there any advantage in doing it one way over the other? I'm not really concerned about time. I figure it's a 2 beer event no matter.
I think the advantage is as I stated above, you can set it accurately on the same spot everytime and keep records so you can notice any trends and spot a small problem before it becomes a big problem.

EOIC and I have a bump button under the hood which makes it faster and easier IMO.... I set the valves using the mopar chart then went right back around using EOIC and I couldn't believe how much slop was in there vs EOIC 
On larger duration cams I tried it both ways and
found the the EOIC was more accurate as well

Exhaust Opening Intake Closing.This method may take a little longer but I want mine Right.After setting a intake & exhaust on each side Hot and finding out the correct setting on Cold,from then on I set them Cold. I have also found out on Big cams it is Best to let the exhaust valve open about 1/2 way (instead of time it starts to move)and then set the intake.  PS I have also been told by a Big Time Mopar engine builder,all you need to do is get them with in a couple of .000 either way,at the Best all you can hope to pick up is a .001 or .002 and you are a Bracket Racer so why spend the extra time! Well I may only be a Bracket Racer, and I don't know about you but I want every thousandth I can get out of my engine.  Double PS Topics like this are why I come on Moparts. There is always a chance someone else has a better way(Better not interested in Faster)of doing things that lead to what I call Free Horse-Power!

i agree with mike. i have consistantly found loose rocker arms/lash when double checking after using the mp method. never with the eoic method.
What I've noticed is there is adjacent lobe spring pressure when using that method. With stiff springs you are probably seeing cam and/or rocker shaft deflection, not actual lash slop.
