I think the answer is a combination of both. Both arguments are true. If you go by rack score, you will high grade some 3-4 year olds. If you go by age you might kill 70% of your 4 year olds every year. Sooo come up with a score that meets your goals, and make sure that deer is the age you are comfortable with. But don't shoot and inferior rack buck just because he is old enough. Let that buck live and help your age structure.
That's my take on it. 130" 4 year olds is my goal. Hopefully I can stick to it. I haven't killed a 130" buck yet, but had quite a few on camera. And I've let a couple of ones walk that I thought were 120s. But I am getting an itchy finger, I can't lie. 
Folks that know don't shoot old does........
