Default Back tension Controversy

OK, I have been working since last fall on shooting my release using back tension. I took what I read and applied it to my shooting form and have gotten what I would say is decent at it. I have read many a conflicting article on trigger pressure and proper form when executing this type of surprise release. One article I read said you want a fairly heavy trigger which requires you to squeeze and pull through at the same time, another article states a lighter trigger pressure which doesn't require much squeezing and triggers by pulling through a loose fitting release. I am trying to learn more about the subject. Which way is prefered? What methods do you use, or have been taught? The reason I am writng this is because sometimes I get stuck, meaning I am pulling through and the release doesn't go off. Also it seems to me that having to squeeze and pull creates a fair amount of tension and I have been under the impression that tension robs accuracy. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
