First, however, one needs to decide what geometry one is trying to achieve. Hence my previous questions. Once one knows that, then one can select a method of achieving it.

+1 to that! Most of the techniques I'm familiar with use the construction process in one way or another to get the neck angle close enough so that only minor adjustments are necessary. Mixing techniques can screw this up, resulting in not so minor adjustments being required to get the neck angle correct.
What I mean by the correct neck angle is that the height of the strings above the top at the bridge is the design value AND the action at the 12th fret is also the design value. The tolerances to achieve this are very small, since the action is adjusted by changeing the height of the strings at the bridge.
