Well I always used both of them. Naked for my loose shirts, swimsuits/undies, and while the Outfit is better across different clothing/outfits that I have. Goodluck and have fun on your playthrough

I use bodygen instead of presets, to make all npc unique shapes

I create body with zeroid sliders and set up  presets in looks menu. The body in BS and body in the game are different due to lighting, animation, skinning.

Using Fusion Girl Zero Sliders Preset for my character.  Adjustments in Looksmenu.

 

Using Bodygen for first time on NPC's.  Also creating new play through.  Not done testing, but clothes seem to fit and no missing meshes or invisible bodies.

Invisible bodies can happen sometimes for dead bodies, there was some fix in files but not so simple, so I didnt try it

I use zero sliders + 35% Vanilla Fallout 4 (Keeps NPCs looking somewhat "normal" instead of looking like a toothpick).

 

Then for my character(s) I use BodyConvert to convert any bodyslide settings I want into bodymorph data an copy paste it into their looks preset .json.  The only additional setting is to minus out the original 35% Vanilla FO4 set above.

 

In this way I can have as many character presets as I want for as many characters as I chose to apply them on.  Like say having 12 companions and every one of them has a completely different bodymorph.

Since I love immersion, you know when you wear fit shirts irl and everything gets tight! As the bodyslide name preset suggests, Nude presets goes to under wears and see through skin wears. Outfit presets obviously goes to clothes and armor stuffs. As for my companions well they got their own bodyslide presets I made just for them and for the NPC's I'd rather them have the CBBE vanilla ones.

Better is to use two presets, there is a chance to reduce or prevent clipping when using an own preset for clothing.

Additionally sometimes I also use unique player and followers, so that the player looks a little bit different or at least can use another texture.
