I'm all for sonotube. The farther wood is from the ground the better. Pressure treat will rot like normal wood

Can you get a concrete truck in there? If not, you'll be hand mixing a lot of bags of concrete for sonotubes.

Just buy a cheap cement mixer. Sell it afterwards, keep it or loan it out to a friend

Here is a 16x24 foundation with 3 piles up front that are lower to accommodate the porch. The beams are 6x12 - 24 length ways and 6x12-16 in the front.
These are called helical piers, they sit about 5' deep. We have frost to about 4' on bad years.

We own a concrete mixer/ no trucks can get there..
We have decide on concrete method. Going to fasten a double 2x12 beam for the 24 foot run and use joist hangers with 2 x 8 for the 12 foot span.. Any issues with this.
