Engine bay cleaning?

Ok. I have looked now until my eyes hurt so if i have missed a previous posting on this, its because my eyes hurt . So, what is the best cleaner to use on the engine bay and what do i need to look out for? I know a guy who always cleans his engines with a degreaser like Simple Green, and then rinses. Keeps the engine looking new if you do it once a year. I have used the engine detailer stuff that you just spray on and let sit for a while then rinse. But that was on older vehicles and this is the first time for my new truck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I always do mine by hand. Tedious but it works for me. The trick is to keep up with it, don't let it get really dirty.
