What's the best way to cement in fittings and pipe in pool wall? Glue pipe first or cement fittings (glued to the pipe) first?

If I cement in fittings first, I can wiggle the pipe to get the hydraulic cement in the hole some. Then I can cut the pvc and install fittings and pipe on the outside of the wall.

If I glue all the pipe first, there's probably not much wiggle room for the pipes coming through the wall, but at least I could cover my trenches before I cement my fittings.

What's easiest?
