I always use the -a option.  If everything looks good, I can hit the "y"
key and let it go.  Doing it your way, it has to calculate the thing
twice.  If you have a fast rig, it may not matter much tho.

I used to use the -p option but I was glad to see the -a option.  I was
using my old AMD 2500+ single core system back then and it saved me a
LOT of time.  I guess the habit stuck when I built my new rig.  My new
rig is AMD 3.2Ghz with 4 cores and 16Gbs of ram with portages work
directory on tmpfs.  HUGE difference.  

It is odd that the permissions would vary.  It seems that it should be
the same, unless we actively do something to change them.  Just odd.
