To me there is not a preferance because 'blocking' and 'hollowing' on a stump is a completely different thing to tucking and has a totaly different use its like saying which do you prefer shrinking or stretching?. One technique would be used for one job and the other for another. Its a case of which is going to be best for that job.
When you use a stump you are partly stretching and partly shrinking the panel.
