Had to pick between cedar and composite for a big job in Boise

The client wanted a fence that looked good but needed almost no care. I was stuck between real cedar and a composite board I had not used before. I went with the composite because the price was close and the warranty was 25 years. It went up fast, but the hidden clips were a pain to line up on the first section. Anyone have a trick for keeping those composite rail clips straight before you screw them in?

Heard my buddy uses a chalk line for those clips.

Chalk lines work great for a straight guide, just snap it and go lol.
