I home to max and then probe the bed at the start of the print. I'm using a Precision Piezo20 for the probing.
Relevant parts of my startup gcode
G28 ; home
G1 X200 Y200 Z5 ; Move close to center of the bed
M109 S160 ; set the hotend temperature for probing and wait
G30 ; Simple probe of the bed to set 0 and squish any drool
G30 ; do it again rule out any squish
G29 S1 ; Load the bed height map
