I like to strip to bare metal when repainting, I guess just to prevent paint flaking and peeling. I like sand blasting, but that brings up a dirt and dust issue (getting into unwanted places like internal engine and so on). So always be real careful about openings when sand blasting. Wire brushing does pretty good, but it is hard to get into all those little nooks and cranties. You will have to remove grease and such before brushing or blasting. Cleaning solvants can really aid in getting that grease off, but be careful about it leaving a thin film that you won't want to paint over if that is all you are going to do for paint prep. The good old pressure washer with hot soapy water can clean things up too, but water will make any bare metal rust almost instantly, and I don't like painting over rust. I just think a wire brush or sand blaster or something of that nature prepares a surface the best for paint preperation, but evrybody has their preferances.
