that is all a personal preference. startin the middle go ride it then adjust it 2 clicks 1 way or another

a good point is if you make one lap and a friend whit screwdriver help you,move 2 click at time,only one mod at time.
make a new lap and feel the difference.
make a new mod and a new lap, you can setting your bike in a little time.
start by compression first and rebound second,after that redefine the compression again

you should always start with rebound first as this has a effect on compression.
depends on your bike - your weight and ability and if the suspension and linkage are serviced, if there not id suggest doing this first.
then next thing set your sag, ....then dial in the clickers.

i like starting with rebound set in the middlerange , modified for first the compression , set the right rebound and finish second time with the compression.
is a different method but work good.i know rebound clicker make difference in compression.

setting correct sag is a good idea though, softer is better than stiffer because of armpump...sorry, but i couldnt help being a jerk^^
