svcpack.inf, [SetupParams], or cmdlines.txt

[cumminbk]

Alright i know svcpack.inf installs at T-13, cmdlines.txt at T-12 and [setupParams] in the winnt.sif at T-9 but which method do you use and do you feel works best? I origanlly used svcpack.inf but have changed to cmdlines.txt. However now i am thinking of using [setupParams] in my winnt.sif file. I use a batch file to install all of my hotfixes, .NET framework and windows media player 10. I also apply registry tweaks and do some system cleanup with the batch file. Some cleanup cannot be performed when i call my batch file with cmdlines.txt at T-12 and im thinking maybe calling it 3 minutes later in the install at T-9 with [setupParams] might make a difference.

Can others provide imput. What are your thoughts and most importantly what method do you use and why do you feel it works the best.

PS. I'm talking about installing hotfixes during windows installation not first login methods like [GuiRunOnce] or RunOnceEX. thanks
