Since the bleeders leak at the ouput, the air goes into the removed fluid. The bleeders are also at the high-point of the calipers.

Vacuum-bleeding is what I use, same method as in your OP. Start with the longest run.

I also use a fillet of Dow high-vacuum grease (a peanut-butter consistancy silicone) on the bleeder threads to help the efficiency of the vacuum-bleeding process.

Bleed every 2years and you'll be fine. Not a bad idea to replace just the reservoir fluid annually just to keep it clear IMO.
