Sucking in or sucking out. LOL I think you're referring to negative pressure vs. positive pressure?

Positive pressure (ballooning) will push smell out of your tent and into whatever space your tent is living in. If you want to minimize smell you use negative pressure, but not so much that it threatens to collapse your tent.

Negative, (walls sucking in) with a carbon filter on your fan, is optimal. Assuming your temps and humidity are in order.
Odor and flying pests are 2 big obstacles greatly reduced with negative pressure. Im sure my carbon filter is full of dead fungus gnats right now.

I agree, negative pressure inside a tent is much better than positive. To dramatically increase the longevity of your carbon filter, you might want to consider a pre-filter:
