As far as tools the toe and caster/camber gauges are good. You can one up that with alignment tables, steering and brake locks and a wheel leveler. When doing a home brewed alignment don't forget to center and lock down the steering wheel so its on-center when the job is complete. Nothins gonna rain on your parade like having your fresh alignment tracking straight and true only to have that pretty steering wheel pointing at 10 or 2! As far as string alignments go the only thing that they have in common that I DO NOT LIKE is that they are two wheel alignments. If it were me I'd find the centerline of the chassis and base my toe settings off that.
