A dissenting opinion: In my experience, RD hanger alignment doesn't matter much if the stops and cable tension are adjusted appropriately. I've ridden my bikes with hangers or dropouts bent to various degrees and they were fine. Subsequent straightening and readjustment made no difference in shifting performance. It does make you feel better knowing it's all nice and straight though.
