Yes, either will work. I would suggest using USALS for the motor... much easier to set up, assuming you've calculated your azimuth/elevation correctly.
I (just yesterday!) installed my HH90/Invacom QPH-031 system. This was the first motorized satellite system I had set up by myself. It went relatively smoothly. I think
Sadoun should include a small tube of SPF30 sunblock in his 'installation kit', though..
When I did the initial
installation, I wired from the receiver to the motor, from the motor directly to one of the linear LNBF ports -- makes it a little easier when you're
aiming the dish; there's one less parameter to worry about. Darkness fell, mostly because I spent half the afternoon watching television on the roof... so the DiSEqC switch wasn't installed until this morning. Just install the switch between the motor and the LNB. Write down or remember which LNB (circular/linear) is in each port -- you will need to know this when you're in 'Antenna Setup' and setting up the satellites. I just put both circular LNBs on the odd number ports (1,3) and the linear LNBs on the even number ports (2,4).
If you've added a bunch of linear satellites before putting the switch into the system, don't forget to go into 'Antenna Setup' and set the DiSEqC port for each of those.
All in all, you'll find it a fairly easy installation (easier, I think, than installing a fixed dish), and well worth the effort.
