Deck height is defined as the height from the top of the piston to the cylinder head.

Therefore the solder method that Competition Engineering uses and is discribed in Wayne's book would be the most accurate measurement for Deck height. It takes into account all different shapes of cylinder heads and pistons, and also measures any cylinder head gaskets that may be used.
Although the height from the top of my piston to the top of the cylinder is only .61 mm, once the head gasket and head is installed the "height from the top of the piston to the cylinder head" is 1.37 mm which is fine.
