I would bench bleed it.  When I put a new clutch master cylinder in my Honda,
I didn't bench bleed, and it took about a hundred strokes before it started
to pick up fluid properly.  That was a serious pain in the butt.  Once it did
pick up, it only took about fifteen more strokes to purge the whole system.
