"
Would fold-up attic stairs be considered "permanent"?"

Those are the gray area. In one part of the country they might be, not in another.

In general I would make it neat and logical, while not wasting a unusal amount of coper.

In general I would run along the trusses. Or at one or two areas nail in some 1x4 running bards (or untility 2x4" might be cheaper) at right angles to the trusses.

But say you have a kitchen in one corner diagonaly oposite the panel.

Since you have a large number of loads in the one area then run a running board diagonly across the trusses. and you can pick up other near by circuits at the same time.
