My team has never been an alliance captain so our scouting usually consists of mostly pit scouting with printed Excel sheets.
You don't do anything differently: the opportunity to be an alliance captain doesn't change how you collect data, just how you use it.

Along with our lead scout, I will be presenting this weekend at the last of the RoboJackets Technology Enrichment Sessions. The topic is Competition Strategy and Scouting. Although you're a little far away, there will be a webcast, and I invite you to tune it and check it out. It should cover alliance selection well.
