Root Easiest Way to Permanent Root?

I have a MyTouch 4G on the way.

I plan to just keep it stock, but I want to root and remove some bloatware and run some programs that require root.

What's the best/easiest way to permanent root if I'm not going to experiment with alternative ROMs?

I'd really like the least invasive way. I want something so that I can still get the next OTA without going through hoops getting the system back to a way to accept the OTA.

What about just using Visionary with it set up to temproot at each reboot? Any reason that wouldn't get me what I want? If I do that do I have to accept superuser permissions for all root programs after each reboot? I can see that being a PITA.
 
The next (and most likely the last) OTA update for the myTouch 4G has already been leaked. It's on XDA. Even if you aren't going to flash ROMs, chances are, XDA will have them years before it's even announced for your device.

That's the easiest root ever.
I'll screw around with my phone all day and have no problem using all of the various "hacking" tools, but this one is for my daughter. All I really want is for it to run the current OTA + root (mainly so I can backup properly).

I may just temp root with Visionary until the new OTA comes out officially and then perm root that.
