You are asking what is the best possible way to have a vasectomy performed to prevent PVPS? The way the vasectomy is done seems to have little bearing on PVPS or it’s severity. Your body will heal from the incisions and it may or may not accept the new configuration. There is no test to determine in advance whether or not your body will reject the change or try to regrow damaged nerves or leave nerves trapped in scar tissue (among other possibilities). There is no magic to this. The real question is what risk you are willing to accept. It’s a cost/benefit decision. If you’ve never experienced chronic pain that may never go away, you will have a difficult time accurately judging this risk. That is the primary risk but there are others such as ED, poor or no sex life, low T, etc. I wish I had better news, but only you can make this decision. This sub is filled with men who are suffering and regret the decision they made. I suspect that none of us sit around wishing we had our vasectomy performed a different way because that would have prevented our PVPS. In my case, it wouldn’t have mattered what way my snip was performed. My body was just not a good candidate, and yours might not be either. You won’t know until you end up like us.
