Avionics off- Alternator on- Strobes on; fuel pump on - Start engine;
What type of aircraft do you fly that wants the alternator on when the engine is not running?
It won't be generating much electricity at that point, I understand Piper actually issued a notice changing their start procedure to start with the alternator off.

For light aircraft, my opinion is a very good lookout and a loud 'Clear prop' call
