Depends on the situation, working technique will surely make you better just do not be overly passive and DO NOT buy into that traditional brazilian jiu-jitsu bs about using literally no strength, speed, athletism ect.. For me it depends on what the guy gives me, sometimes with some of our guys I'll just play open guard, let the guy try to pass. Or I'll just get the takedown, pass, work positioning. Now if it's one of our guys who just really gets into it and tends to go balls to the wall but also has decent technique, I fuckin' love that and I'll usually have fun and throw being passive out the window.
Just be sure to work both sides, if you think you need to be passive and all "technical" all the time you will become very one dimensional and end up getting crushed in a comp. or against a guy from a good rival school. Just give the guy you're training with back what he's giving you some of the time.
