To bleed or reverse bleed the clutch

Something Hamlet would say but....

Clutch pedal feels funny sporadically. Brake master cylinder is full so no fluid leaks

Thinking of bleeding the clutch - should I start off with bleeding from the bleed nipple or reverse bleeding with a pump thingy?

I normally drain the clutch cylinder with a large syringe clean all the crud from it and then refill with fresh fluid. Then I bleed the system until clean new fluid comes out.

I found on a Range Rover classic I never got it to bleed right, so in the end I just crawled underneath, removed the slave from the bell housing, held it pointing down and just pushed the plunger fully in a few times to purch the air out through the reservoir. Both master, hose and slave were new
