Hydrangea pruning

Can't wait...okay...I've seen several different methods of pruning H. 
macrophylla...which does anyone here suggest and why?

leaving the flower heads on over the winter as a 'protection' against winter 
damage, and pruning these flowered stems to the ground early next spring
leaving the flower heads on and pruning back only to the first pair of new 
buds
prune close to the ground as soon as the flower heads wilt 

And how about H. quercifolia? When/how do you prune this?

Thanks,
Bettye
