This.
Accept that I would also only recommend mechanically zeroing the encoder.

It's not that other methods don't work. It's that I have found this to be effective, cheap, easy, relible, and no maintainance.

I love healthy debate though, so it would be great to hear someone's argument for why another solution is better in some way.
