As far as tuning sequence, I strip from 88 down to the tenor break, then use another strip down as far as it will go (usually just about the bass break), tune the temperament, then tune below the temperament down to the tenor/bass break. Then I tune up from the temp., all the way to 88, and start tuning unisons down, pulling the strip as I go (tune right string, pull strip, tune left string...)When I get to the end of the stripped tenor, I use a single mute to tune down to the the end, tuning the right string, move the mute to the next bicord, and tune the left string. As to why: that's the way I was taught in the Randy Potter course. And I haven't noticed any instability problems.
