I'd use a little modified version of both. Crack all the bleeders at the calipers/drums and pour your fluid. You’re consistently going to have to pour fluid as it pushes the air out and fills the lines. Making sure that the reservoir always has fluid or your just going to let air back into the system. Once it does I would close them up and bleed them like you would normally.

yes, you do need to bench bleed the MC. you can do it on the car, but it is much easier in a bench vise.
do you already know the procedure?

Bench bleeding MC's is a universal job. No difference between imports and domestics.

Google "How to bench bleed a master cylinder"

or read this write up.
