I suppose all these things are difficult to compare scientifically, with so many other factors present (temp and humidity of the room, quality of solder and iron, how much thermal mass the ground plane has, etc), so what works better for one person may in reality work worse for someone else, while both parties claim theirs is the truly best method. Similarly, I've seen a lot of arguing over whether adding fresh solder to old is necessary all the time, only if it's stubborn, or if just adding flux beforehand does just as much as adding fresh solder. And that's definitely true, much better to apply the solder to the heated leg of the component than to try and rub it off of the iron.
Though on re-reading, you're probably discouraging putting the whole application of the solder on the iron beforehand, rather than discussing the light coating vs bare use argument.
some will say it protects the tip of the iron from heat damage, others say it actually makes it worse. Honestly, whether or not to tin the iron before use or to use it bare is one of those things that people will argue endlessly over. Tbh, those solder suckers should just stop being sold, plain and simple :\ I've been desoldering a lot of ICs lately ( snes carts, scart ports etc) In my experience,melting clean solder with old solder helps a LOT in my experience in vacuming the WHOLE solder, otherwise, even with flux, some solder can sometime stay on the pad/leg (making it harder/impossible to remove the multi-legged /IC/Component/part) (looking like a mix of dirt, corroded lead and a bit of tin, flux and 99% alcohol only goes so far against those I guess) been using a desoldering station for 6 month, takes me 5mins to do something that would take me a tedious 1-2h+ to do with a desoldering wick ^^ Same hear, my instructor didn't believe in using anything in addition to flux core solder, but I've been using isopropyl alcohol to clean joints before and after soldering and external flux for like 4 or 5 years, and I've never looked back, stronger, cleaner joints overall, and am able to cleanly solder stuff that I never could have before.
