I love "pu-PB" (= pick up in purl bump) because it is the same instruction for RS or WS knitting. It is very similar to "pick up in st below next st" only better (?). I'd best not say that. Knitters can be opinionated. pu-PB is great for pivoting short rows. It leaves no gap or bump, and it's easy to keep track of because it is the first of two sts emerging from one st. You can identify it more easily than a wrap/turn (which is also excellent but more complicated). When returning the second half of the heel you may be tempted to knit the two sts (coming out of one) tog - but this will leave a gap. Instead, k the st before along with the pu (the 1st of two coming out of one) together.
