Cycle advice
planing my next cycle for March or April I typically do 1 to 2 cycles a year tops. I just finished a test 450mg NPP 500mg a week cycle 3 weeks ago so I'm taking at least a 3 to 4 month break before I start my next cycle. I have done a number of cycles over the last 6 or so years so I have decent amount of experience but always trying to learn and get advice from people more experienced then me. I have used EQ but This will be my first time using DHB.
Weight-202lbs

Gym time is between 1 and 1 1/2 hours 5-6 days a week various rep and weight ranges (powerbuilding type approach)
Goals- gain as much lean muscles as possible with little fat accumulation.
Cycle idea Test E 400 mgs a week equipoise 540mgs a week DHB 400mgs a week split between mon-wed-fri for 16 weeks
any advice on cycle length, dose, diet or anything else is appreciated.

RustyhookerId read @makwas forums on food and cut to 12% before cycle. Then you can visually appreciate dhb
This^^^^
The leaner you are the more muscle you will gain. The fatter you are the more fat you will gain relative to muscle. Shouldn't be cycling until you hit 10-12%. Easy to do with diet alone. Cycle dosages are fine, but results will be substandard if bodyfat to high when starting cycle.
Ok I just read your post on the subject my plan was to drop to 15% anyway. I'll shoot for 12% instead. 4 months should be enough time to achieve it. Any suggestions on body fat calculations like the most accurate ones 20% is really just a my guess.
I'm not sure where you are, but where I am, we have mobile dexa scans. In research surrounding body composition, dexa scans are used frequently to determine body composition. Whenever I cut or bulk, I do a dexa scan before and after to confirm that my strategies are producing results. Unfortunately the scans will never be as cheap as spending 10 bucks on calipers.
Jackson-Pollock 3 point caliper test. You can do it yourself. $10 caliper and then plug the values into an online calculator

Should I go with digital caliper or standard caliper or does it not matter?
I just use a standard caliper. That all do the same thing so just get whatever makes your pickle drip
