All the hooks I have tried caused the tile to “pop up” and to avoid this one has to notch the tile. More trouble than it is worth IMHO. Tile track works well and doesn’t need flashing.

I do wonder why you prefer posts when you could use the tile hooks and avoid the extra work and time of cutting and flashing? If it makes for a better attachment structurally and weather-proof wise, then I'm all for it. Could you make a few points for/against tile hooks vs flashed posts?

Use stanchions, also known as power posts. Flash them properly, just like a roof vent, only they will be perpindicular to the roof surface, not vertical.
