On a BIG job I try to get all my racks and panels in place. As my crew pulls in cables I get them dressed and terminated as there pulled in. This is the preferred method for me! Turns out beautiful every time....

I agree, but only in a perfect world. How is this possible when it's new construction and you have to pull the cable and wait for walls and finishes to be completed? Certainly you wouldn't be able to leave racks and patch panels exposed to paint overspray, theft, etc.
Your process for work in existing finished space is the way to go. It's so much easier to dress a handful of cables at a time than wrestling several hundred that are too long or tangled.

Speaking of racks and panels....
I lost a small cabling job a year or so ago to sparkie. :shrug:
Anyway, I stopped in as the building was being trimmed out and had to laugh...
The job itself was horrible, tie wraps pulled as tight as the "installer" could pull them, wads of cable tied as "service loops", etc.
Well they also had all of the jacks terminated and hanging out of the walls as well as the 7 foot aluminum rack and 24 port patch panel installed BEFORE the painter was done. The office was sprayed the most hideous baby butt yellow, and so was all of the jacks and the rack and the patch panels. The panel had so much over spray on it you couldn't read most of the port numbers!
Sometimes justice IS served!

Always Comb the Rack make it pretty.
Remember its only a short distance compared to the whole cable run.
You will have Alien Crosstalk problems if you have long parallel straight runs in the field.
