Steve, I must admit I spin the prop by hand for two reasons. One, in the winter I believe it frees up the engine and puts less strain on the starting system (this could be an old wives tale FAIK). I have also heard it distributes oil on the cylinder walls.
Second, I turn it over four times and make sure there is compression on each cylinder. I do always stop the engine with the mag switch (the mixture will not stop my engine) and I keep well away from the blade arc.
