Our emergency evac checklist is a "read and do"
Works a treat
It gets done faster than the memory version, is more controlled and less prone to mistakes.
Flight Detent - not sure why you dont like the new 737 version but in my aircraft we have everything done by the capt with the checklist read by the f/o.
The intention being that the order of the checklist items is such that when things are done when called for by the F/O, including announcing the evac to the cabin and atc, it all falls into place.
As I say, it works a treat....
