Question: Stab Trim setting - Airbus

Just asking the audience what is the better practice

On dispatch paperwork, Company provides both TO CG%, and Stab Trim (N/U or N/D x.x)

are folks:

1. setting CG on the trim wheel (inner scale, somewhat harder to see)
2. Stab Trim on the trim wheel, or alternatively,
3. setting stab trim using the trim wheel but references the electronic lower screen display when flight controls page is up.

#3 seems better in a dark cockpit and allows both crews to better see it, in my opinion

Thank you
