Best engine lifting method

I'm wondering which method is better and safer lifting an engine (almost fully dressed). Is it using the 4 point method connecting to intake mounting bolts or the lifting plate mounted to the carb mounting bolts? My intake is already on but my carb has not been installed. I may be too much of a worry wort but I'm leary of that much weight being held up with bolts threaded into aluminum plus I really don't want to diturbed the intake mounting bolts that have altready been torqued. Am I stressing for nothing???

The picture is many pulls ago but I always pull the motor and trans together because it's easier on my back. It's also more comforting to know you have the engine and trans in proper alignment imo. I like to use the head bolts.

Carb plate with toploader attached - no issues.
