Ed,
I prefer the Fuel Pump shutoff method.
On my airplane the fuel system will remain pressurized for a long = time=20 after shut down.
I don't like the idea of highly pressurized fuel inside a very = hot engine=20 compartment.
So by turning off the fuel pumps with the engine still running it = serves=20 to de-pressurize the fuel system.
This way if you do happen to get a stuck open injector it will = not flood=20 the rotor housing with fuel.
It only takes a second or two for the engine to quit after fuel = pump=20 shutoff.

1.  Turning off Main = Power
2.  Turning off EC2 = Power
3.  Turning off = ignition
4.  Turning off Fuel = Pumps
5.  Turning off = injectors
