I just finished Masochist Gold today, so I actually remember what I did. Personally I feel that Intx2 is the way to go.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 837 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
737 of those were killed.
13 of those were killed by something unknown.
40 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 14 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 33 souls claim to have killed him...
6 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
27 killed the bastard and survived.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I started off going for Intx2. The HA visit was to grab some early xp despite the fact I didn't have a combat shotgun (I did have ~5 shotguns though) and to grab the chaingun. The plan I had for weapons was a tactical shotgun, gattling gun and high powered plasma rifle, giving me a use for mods and saving me from having to get WK. The shambler from Hell's Armory gave me a firestorm pack so I slapped it on a plasma rifle. After the Hell gate I started running low on ammo, but part of the problem was going for YAAM which doesn't need to be done. The sniper pack I found on floor 17
really helped when I was running out of ammo. Putting it on a rocket launcher with Intx2 is what got me through the Lava pits, since I was just about out of any other ammo at that point. It's worth noting that whenever I went down a set of stairs I had both plasma rifles in my hands so if I ended up in sight of anything nasty I could kill it quickly.
Life gets a
lot better after Intx2, as long as you play it safe. You'll want to start getting SoB right after though, since you'll be shooting things from a distance the shotguns will need extra help. MCe isn't really necessary, but it helps conserve ammo since you'll have higher accuracy if you can see the mob.
As for the shamblers, I wouldn't recommend it while badge hunting, it will actually hold you back. Sure it'll help get a badge or two, but it will get in the way of gaining skill. If you aren't going for a badge, then I say go for it. I view it as a loophole instead of a bug, since it is consistent and I haven't seen anything
ingame that says you are only supposed to pull the lever once. Despite that I won't do it for badges, since it really is unintended and it ruins the sense of accomplishment. In the end though, this is a game and the point of a game is to have fun.
