Ryan:

I've had great luck with a hand vacuum pump the last two times.  Both jobs 
were complete overhauls--new everything.  I pumped the system down as low as the 
pump would go with it dry to see if I had any leaks.  Then filled the master 
cylinder and pumped down each cylinder (furthest out first) using a container 
about the same size as the master cylinder reservoir.  At first you will have 
to watch the master cylinder level, but by the time you get to the end you 
won't be adding as much.  Bleeding is a one man job this way and you don't have 
to apologize to your helper for yelling at them when you're done.  And you can 
use the vacuum pump on your engine tuneups etc.  Good excuse to get another 
tool if you don't already have one.

Good Luck whichever way you do it.
