Thus, you would vibrate El (for Atziluth), Tzadqiel (for Briah), Khasmalim (for Yetzirah), and Tzedek (for Assiah); and then the phrase we are abbreviating by the letters A.R.A.R.I.T.A."
Tzedek is the name of the Heaven of Assiah which corresponds to Jupiter. Would it not, however, be more correct to use the Planetary Angel in Assiah name (col. 407 of 776 1/2) instead? in this example, "Sakhiel" rather than "Tzedek"?
Angels are Yetziratic. The planetary angel's name would provide an additional tool in the Yetziratic level, but wouldn't serve for Assiah. In any case, that angel would be above the Choir of Angels, not after.
The Hebrew names of the planets are the traditional "Words of Power" for the Assiah level. (In saying "traditional," I note that this is stated almost no place in
published works known to me, although it is routine knowledge in those incarnations of the G.D. tradition that have been handed down with continuity through the generations.)
Though there isn't an exact rule, one tends to find the planetary angel brought into the mix more often in strict planetary workings, rather than in sephirothic workings. In those cases, it is most often substituted for the more diverse Choir of Angels, but sometimes used in conjunction with them. It's also the proper hierarchical element when descending to the Intelligence and Spirit.
So, for a Chesed working, most of the time the hierarchy (if going all the way to Assiah) would be El, Tzadqiel, Chasmalim, Tzedeq; but a Kaph (por pure planetary Jupiter) working would generally devolve (going as far as one needed for the particular operation) El, Tzadqiel, Sakhiel, Yophiel, Hismael (and Tzedeq if needed). This, through Hismael, would also be the establishment of descending power if one were continuing to the Ga'agsheklah.
