My technique varies from part to part, based on what I am trying to achieve and the actual geometry of the part.
For the most part I agree with Mark and I don't like to restrict the resin inlet, it does have a tendency to cause issues. That said, it depends on the part and the layup - some parts do really benefit from slightly restricting the feed line. So it is virtually impossible for me to say "do X or dont do Y" and it will solve all your problems.
I suggest trying a part like you have been doing, as it sounds like you are nearly there, but try clamping off the vacuum line once everything is completely wet out and leave the resin feed open for a minute or two. Most of this excess resin will remain in the flow media, so the final part will only be a few grams heavier, but it can make all the difference for that surface porosity.
