I always PL glue and screw plywood. Run the sheets in the opposite direction of the subfloor sheets and overlap all joints. Henry self leveling is a great product. I use a long handle stand up concrete skreet to help it about but a 20" hand trowel works. The self leveling is super runny and doesn't need much persuasion manually. I always go around the room with a knife and a roll of paper towels to pack any holes or cracks it could drain into. The self leveling is so runny you can lose most of it down even a very small crack. I mix it in a 5 gallon bucket with my mixer drill and mud paddle. About 4" of water in the bucket and then add one 25 lb. bag of powder. After it sets in a couple of hours you can mix up a pail of Henry patch and level to fine tune. It's not nearly as runny and should be applied with a hand trowel. It's Portland based too and adheres to the self leveling. I'm a floor guy by the way and have been there a thousand times.
