It sounds like all of us have found (interestingly) different procedures that all work for us in our situations. You probably know the goals you need to achieve, so, whatever works, works.
(BTW I have been using a 0.5 micron oxygenation stone and 2 micron carbonation stones for many, many years, and have never boiled one, let alone baked one. Interesting idea. Again, whatever works.)
