I use the Flynn method with the diagonally pieced back when I am using only one material for the backing. It really looks nice.
When I use different materials I just do a pieceworked backing. I just play around with various rectangles and squares and such til I like what I see. I have used graph paper or EQ6 very rarely as it just seems to flow and work.
Quilt and fabric designer Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. pieces many of her backs and usually has an area with a printed verse or such strategically placed on the back. Her backs are as beautiful as her quilt tops!

I tried the diagonal pieced back once-must have done it wrong and had to piece it more. good thing I was keeping it and not giving it away. i have pieced both horizontally and vertically and also use the tube method(just recently) JMHO, if I was using the backing fabric pictured, i would math the design and it wouldn't really matter where the seam was.
