Different but excellent mnemonics are part of the spice of flying!
Pitot heat "on" would be part of the power checks if I'm going to fly with it on.
Yes, landing light goes with strobes (LIGHTS) - the two switches next to each other.
I do the "Instruments" as we're rolling - along with "ASI alive" and a few others such as RPM and MP.
Then it's BUFPANEFI once we're off the ground - Brakes (touch), Undercarriage, Flaps, Power (MP then RPM), Altimeter, Navaids, Engine, Fuel (pump off), Ice.
Time is only for PLOG - we pay on tacho, and I log chock to chock. Time tends to be "set heading" rather than "wheels off runway". Only a minute or so in it either way.
