A quicker easier and cheaper way is simply to use a line, set up your line then run the brick along the side of the line, this way all ground can be wacked down which when using poles you will not be able to wack the areas that the poles cover!
Screed rails are normally established into the pre-compacted laying course. If you establish the rails prior to compaction, they *will* move.
20mm dia steel conduit is my preference. There are some fancy 'kits' out there, but none of them offer a particularly attractive benefit that would justify the often excessive price.
"Oh, ours clip together using a patented connector..."
So? What benefit does that provide compared to rails that are simply abutted or overlapped?
"Ours are powder coated...."
How does the colour of the rail improve screed level accuracy?
"Ours are rust-proof aluminium..."
Aaah! Nice and shiny so that the light-fingered brickies are less likely to miss them!
20mm steel conduit - dirt cheap, readily available, can't break. Might not look the best, but it does the job.

i like this way too
it all depends on the job really,obviously you cannot wack the screeding bars,
i like to use a 50mm notched board where the paving (60mm) abuts an edging,but that's common sense
