I usually tighten using the rocking wheel test. I want to feel just the slightest play in the bearings when rocking the wheel at the top. One should check the bearings too. Actually better to check the races for scoring and/or pitting.

Spin the wheel as you snug down the split nut then with the wheel stopped do the rocking thing while adjusting the nut. Check it after you tighten the cross screw in the split nut.
