I didn't and where a pro would maybe need to sand once and come back and touch up a few spots, I pretty much have no fingerprints left from the amount I had to sand.
Sometimes I still wake up screaming...

If you are going to go this route I would line up the mudders before you hang the drywall. A friend hung the drywall and the mudding guys wouldn't talk to him. They all said that they could hang the drywall and mud/sand faster than they could mud/sand the drywall that he hung. When he finally got someone to do it they charged way more than to do the whole project.
I didn't see his work, but it makes sense that the guys who do it all the time can fit the boards a lot tighter together.
