Just wondering what the best and most efficient way I can achieve this sort of detail for a cross-bracing look.

Yes, basically the whole vertical portion with the wood members as well as the steel connections
For all the wood members, you have Revit's Structure tab with these tools: truss, beam, bracing, column.
For steel connections, there is the Steel tab where you have connector, plates, bolts and other tools to modify members such as coping and others.
You can model the wood members using structural wood columns / framing, or as structural truss. The connection is either a parametric family with parametric angles to match the bracing (harder to build), or as individual family host to the end of each member then join geometry together.
The truss family can be as simple as this:
The you can edit profile of the trusses in the project, or attach the m to a roof, and the shapes will conform.
This should be done using simple Structural Members such as Columns Beams and Bracing as this is how it would be designed and built and would keep inline with the construction process and information can be extracted more efficiently.
The perpendicular roof trusses would be more inline with previous suggestions as they will be manufactured and delivered this way.
