 bottom of air column

In the post The Least Possible Effort , Tony Pay writes "I've usually dealt with someone who has positioned themselves uncomfortably at either extreme of resistance, by having them move their setup a bit closer to the middle ground.

I also tell them EITHER to think of the clarinet sound as a smooth tube, 'flowing' from low down in the belly, up through the windpipe and mouth, down the instrument and out to the audience (in case they have been used to a 'too closed' setup); OR to think of the clarinet sound as being made by the vibration of the air-column that is ALREADY inside the instrument (in case they have been used to a 'too open' setup)" My question to him and others would be this. Generally speaking if we have to play at a soft dynamic level a written throat G which of the above approaches would be more suitable?
