+1. This is how I do it too, and I think it's the best way, though likely overkill for a lot of situations.
The problem with throwing it directly into park without stopping at neutral is that you don't know if the parking bake or the transmission is going to catch first (that is, when you take your foot off the regular brake, the car is likely going to roll a bit first until something stops it).
