I fully realize that different people have different ways of working, but I find this particular argument (duration before pitch or pitch before duration) rather amusing. In hand copying (remember doing THAT, anyone?!!), you do both simultaneously, placing a note on a line or space and making it black or white, and then finish up the details.
But in hand copying you *don't* do both simultaneously. You first move your hand to the right position on the staff, and then you put a specific kind of note there. There's no other way to do it in hand copying -- you can't draw a note of a specific duration until you have first decided what the pitch is going to be.
