I am getting a replacement drivers door this weekend as my current one has a couple of nasty dents.

Just looking for the best way to go about fitting the door and making sure it aligns the same as the old one?

The way I have done is like follows:

Get one (hopefully two helpers)
Sit in the drivers seat,
get them to hold some of the weight of the door,
Unscrew doors from body (ideally mark around the brackets with tippex)
Then get them to bring the door to you and line it up,
Get it as close to as it was as possible then do it up fairly loosely and gently close the door to see how it lines up.
You can make quite a bit of adjustment by slackening off the mountings and then rotating up down/pushing or pulling away form body.

Its basically trail and error, Once it's right, Tighten up all the way.

if you undo the pivot bolt the door will not fall off, as the lower hinge is cone shaped into the top hinge part
