Should I use the oven or dishwasher to sanitize my bottles? If the oven, how long and how hot? Or should I just use star san?

i actually put a tiny amount of star san, (like 1tsp) in the dishwasher so it doesn't foam up too much, and then make sure its on the hot dry. my dishwasher calls it the sanitize dry, seems to work great. haven't had any issues so far. still have a bucket of the iodopor handy for everything else or last minute stuff.
Sanitizing bottles is fast and easy, then store then upside down in a clean dishwasher until you start bottling.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I use the oven.
Up until now, I didn't hear that the heat cycling weakens the glass, but that's something I need to look into.
....
How do other people who use star-san (or other no rinse sanitizer) handle letting the bottles dry in a sanitized place?

They do not have to dry. Dump out the Star San and use or cover with some (wet) sanitized foil to use later.
