Well, it depends on how often you build.

I build a new -CURRENT almost every night. For the first build of each
month I do a full 'buildworld'. For every 'buildworld' after that I use
NO_CLEAN since I'm pulling in a relatively small amount of updates.
Depending on the updates, I can complete a 'buildworld' in 15-30 minutes
using NO_CLEAN, whereas a full 'buildworld' takes 2-21/2 hours. So doing a
'buildworld' with NO_CLEAN makes sense for me given my build frequency.

However, if you are building only say once a month or less, then I would
recommend a full 'buildworld' every time since you will be pulling in a
fairly large number of updates.

In your #1, did you mean -j4? -j4 is what the Handbook recommends for most
cases.
