I've done some of both and I discovered I am a linear writer until I get several chapters written. After several chapters, I can jump around from chapter to chapter as needed as well as add chapters. One thing NaNo taught me is keep the words and ideas flowing and send the critic and editor on a far away vacation until the right time for editing.
