Default Dialing-in a scattershield

I've often seen mention on this forum of "dialing in" a scattershield. Also seen mention that Lakewoods are not as good (ie accurate) as QuickTime scattershields, and that it might take an hour of clocking and adjustment to achieve the correct alignment.
Some questions:
What is the procedure for "dialing in" a scattershield? What is adjustable?
What does the QT have over the Lakewood design that is better? I think I read that they both come out of the same factory, so that begs the question of what is different, and is there anything about the Lakewood that is better?
I'm assuming that the flywheel (any/all flywheels?) aligns well enough axially at assembly to the crank that it doesn't need clocking up as well?
What about the clutch pressure plate? Any action needed there?
If the scattershield needs dialing in, does the gearbox need dialing in as well to ensure axial alignment with the crank centreline?

Cheers,
Glen
