Let's talk pruning

I lst in veg and then scrog flower. Pre flower I prune the lower third of the plant or so. This cycle I did a light defoliation at just the top around week 4. Next cycle I think I’m going to do my best to eliminate any undergrowth at all and around week three do some really heavy whole plant defoliation. What do you guys think?
Are you old school “follow nature the plant needs all those leaves. Only take it off it’s half dead or more”
Or new school “get rid of all those leaves for better light penetration and so the plant focuses on growing buds not leaves”
