Just a note I'd like to point out since I think it's very, very important: you do mention that pokerus doubles the effects of the Power items, but it's also worth noting that the macho brace is the least effective of the Power items.
In general, the actual Power items are going to be more effective no matter what method is used as long as you aren't trying to train 2 stats at the same time using the old-fashioned method (via farming pokemon with split EV yields). (Ex: EV x 2 x 2 = EV x 4, but 2 x [EV + 4] = [EV x 2] + 8. The only time there's no difference is when the pokemon you're defeating has a base EV yield of 4, and those pokemon are not easily farmable.)
Other than that statement that the Macho Brace is generally inferior overall purely from a numbers standpoint, I've got no complaints! Great guide!
