There's a really good graph in Wayne's book showing the relationship of the valve to the piston at various crank positions, that visually explains why TDC is not the highest-risk position for interference. It is probably around here on the forum somewhere too. I like the lash-screw method for most applications. Really aggressive/race applications, have used the solder method. Seems like the best insurance on the investment.
