I had the no-scalpel method done about 2 years ago. From my research at the time, it is by far the best method. Recovery was pretty quick. I had it done on a Friday morning before a long holiday weekend and took it easy for a few days. It was quick and mostly pain free. I had a 10 am appointment. I was called in about 10:05, and we were walking back out to the parking lot by about 10:25, which amazed me. My balls were black and blue for about 4 or 5 days. Ice kept the swelling down, and I had an ice pack on my balls for 2 - 3 days, which I really think helped speed the recovery. The "incision" was so small, it faded completely after about 6 months, and I can't even find it anymore.
Make sure you have someone drive you. I felt a little woozy afterwards (not from pain, but from stress, over-thinking things, and an abundence of sadness that my fertility was over).
Good luck!
