I am focusing on audits, not trials.

CPA for an audit...always.

from cyberspace, no source given..

"Unlimited Representation Rights: Enrolled agents, certified public accountants, and attorneys have unlimited representation rights before the IRS. Tax professionals with these credentials may represent their clients on any matters including audits, payment/collection issues, and appeals."
But if you haven't had a CPA prepare it .. ? I'm thinking more if you wish to stand your ground worst case.

So representation rights would be the same thing between CPA and tax attorney? Who rules on this stuff when you disagree with an auditor? Isn't there a judge involved? I agree you wish to avoid that and I don't think it'd ever happen anyway. They're just going to give up. There is simply nothing there. You show them the log and they're like oh ok. As long as your bank deposits are reasonable.
