I like your way, should work out fine.
I'm having the joists delivered next week. I'm sure they will be wet, but I've read to set the pressure treated parts wet so they can't twist/check once they are held down, but let the deck boards dry out to make sure they don't (or minimize it at least) before setting them.
I'll be using the Camo hidden fastener system to screw everything down. I don't mind the face screwed look but only if it's done very straight and symmetrical. Plus this hardwood would need pre-drilling to do that. The Camo screws have a built in drill feature in their screws, plus sort of hidden while still being able to remove single planks will be nice.
