I generally tend to use both techniques. For preshading, I'll always use flat black. For my M1, which was also in a desert camo scheme, I used flat black over all panel lines, recessses, edges, etc. A basecoat was laid down in several thin applications, so that the areas that covered the flat black were slightly darker. After that, you can either darken your base mix and respray over same areas, or, as I did, lighten the basecoat, then spray in the middle of large, flat areas to demonstrate paint fading, etc.
Hope that helps.
