Me personally I would use exactly same method. One, this method never fails. Two, I've never used the blasting method which is known as good, but is it good enough on greasy/oil build up which is also super hard on the valve heads?!
I would worry about setting it all up to find out you still have to do what i did.
If blasting can do exact same job then I assume it's a quicker method, but how about the plates, would they still have to be done by hand?
By hand you have a better control as well as think and seeing it all coming off and looking better and shinier with each move of your hand is just a pure "engine p@rn satisfaction".
There probably isn't the easy answer for many, i just know I would use the same method.
