What is the best method for backing up root to a backup utility?

When would one use zfs clone vs when to use the zfs snap shot?   When backing up root to Netbackup, or other backup device, is it better to a) backup straight from the root filesystem, b) create a snapshot and then back up from that, or c) create a snapshot, send it to a file, and back up that file?
