I've always done it this way (bridge to nut), allows one to "pull" the fret
into place over a longer portion of the neck ensuring a snug fit, except for
the fret closest to the nut of course.

I don't have them on now, but when I did, I used to tie two single frets

It does. I've been using this system for a while now and like it just
fine. I use the same diameter and always discard the older (on the nut
side) strand and put the new one on the bridge side. Sometimes I get a
little "color/sonic texture" but it don't bother me none around the house.
One question. When redoing an entire neck of frets I've always from the
little frets and worked my way to the nut. Do others do it this way too?
