Front suspension disassembly

When taking the front suspension off the car for a complete refresh inculding new bushings, torsion bars, strut inserts, ball joints, etc., should you disconnect and remove the ball joint with the A arms on the car or remove the a arm and struts together and them take them apart on a bench. Are there any other tricks of the trade that tell you to do a particular step before any others to make the entire activity go smoother? is there a preferred set of steps for getting the front suspension off the car in the easiest way? I do have the Bentley manual but it addresses each repair activity as a separate item with no connection to the others. I am trying to avoid any of those "@#$& it, why didn't I do this first" revelations.

Also for any Houston, Tx area readers can you recommend a good shop who can perform a corner balance/alignment after I get all the parts replaced.
