I don't know if it's best, and the JMP50 isn't exactly the same as the JTM45, but I used the Larry grounding scheme on my recent build, and the amp is extremely quiet, even dimed. No buss on the pots, but I did use ground lugs between the pot and chassis. https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=22269

Took a little to wrap my head around running the heater CT all the way to the input ground, but it seems to work well.

OTH, my JTM45 is wired as per original, and had some hum, some of which I was able to reduce with some different lead dress.
