Very true steve, I very between methods depending on what I'm doing, I think that you just find your own feet after a bit and know when and where to do various things.
Personally if I was teaching anyone to digital sculpt I would teach the build up slowly method, that way polys are where they should be, mass is blocked in and then the details come up higher on as when starting off there can be a tendancy to dive in and go slightly mad with no underlying form when divide and conquer is used.
