What is it you're leveling, and what are you using to level it? If you're not using a transit or laser level, your results are going to be questionable.
The first and only time I leveled a mobile home, I found it to be a lot trickier than one would think. Mobile home frames flex quite a bit, making it a real challenge to level one. The same is true for most other structures; you can't jack one corner and expect the entire floor to move as if it's a rigid plane. That's probably why your buddies want to level one side at a time. The rim joist will be fairly rigid, and you can block it along its length so it's both level and STRAIGHT. If you jack opposite corners, how will you support the middle of the floor so it doesn't flex? Admittedly, the flex might not be much on small shed, but it's always there and the more you can control it the better your results will be.
