Always use the latter- that is have the upper back/neck almost parallel to the ground at address.
Why?
Reason #1: Your lens (eyes) look
directly at the ball, rather than looking down. This gives you better clubface/ball control.
Reason #2: All great players at impact have their upper back/neck parallel to the ground. If you start off with the disgusting head up position like Tiger (and even more exaggerated by Adam Scott), a
compensation is needed to bring the head back into its correct position. This is one of the reasons why Tiger's head
bobs.
