"Dirty"* bulks are fun, if you're a smaller "hardgainer" type that hasn't learned how to eat and hasn't really added a ton of muscle. If you're not in that category, then I think the "clean"** approach is probably better.
I should also add that the guys that keep on bulking up with the "dirty" style are more likely than not using drugs to both gain muscle and lose fat. Drugs override the natural tendency to stop adding muscle past a point, and trying to come down from 25-30% while keeping all that muscle isn't so easy (or fast).
* By "dirty" I mean no real attention paid to calorie intake. Food quality is more or less irrelevant.
** By "clean", I mean that more attention is paid to daily and/or weekly calorie intake, as in a cyclic diet or the boring-ass long slow bulk with only "clean foods".
