This is what we have done every time we built and deployed code and had zero problems.

Your second step will not keep code on the robot after a power cycle. The alternate mode for downloading code, however, fixes this problem.
According to
WPI,
Quote:
In the Project Explorer, click the + next to Build Specifications to expand it.
Right-click on FRC Robot Boot-up Deployment and select Build. Wait for the build to complete.
Right-click again on FRC Robot Boot-Up Deployment and select Run as Startup. If you receive a conflict dialog, click OK. This dialog simply indicates that there is currently a program on the roboRIO which will be terminated/replaced.
Either check the box to close the deployment window on successful completion or click the close button when the deployment completes.
The roboRIO will automatically start running the deployed code within a few seconds of the dialog closing.

This should keep code saved even after cycling power on the RoboRio. However, a detailed link can be found
here and has fancy images. (under Deploying the Program)
