Long sheets are a good idea if you don't have a lot of lights. I cant imagine making 5-6 cutouts while putting up a 16' sheet. And a 16' sheet couldn't even get down my stairs.

Hiring it out is the 'best' way. The second best way is using a hoist, +1

When you say "edge" do you mean at a joint? With a 16 o.c. joist layout, I don't see how you'd use a screw every 6" along the long edges without adding furring strips. Unless you meant to say use a screw every 6" at a joint (such as a butt joint) down the joist.

@pstatix - Yes the butt joint down the joist. Thx for clarifying.
