I believe that regardless of method (end-for-end or dip jibe) the consensus is that the baby stay is best disconnected and stowed at/on the mast collar.
I've always been an end-for-end foredeck crew but that was on someone else's boat. With just 2 spin-lines (1 guy and 1 sheet) it kept the setup simple. We had twing blocks but only set them as an after though and most of the time not even then. The downhaul was usually effective enough unless we were forced to be on really deep down wind runs for a long time. The helmsman and tactician knew this was a slow point of sail so they avoided that point of sail. I've learned from this list that the end-for-end is typically good for boats up to 35-ish feet. Much over that and the pressures involved with such a large pole and kite become difficult for even the biggest of crew to manage.
