Yeah, I've always done both for the last 20 years. I pull the e-brake first and make sure it holds, and then throw it in gear as a safety. There's no strain on the spurs unless the e-brake was to fade or fail.

You can tighten the e-brake cable slack if it feels like there is too much play in the handle.
