The second case, where the total gain should be <0dB, I would have thought intuitively that doing this purely in software (especially on very faint signals) would be less ideal than doing it in hw (you'd be throwing away the resolution, wouldn't you?), but I'll admit that I don't have the experience to talk about that with any authority.
It's a common misconception that keeping the level lower than 0dB would lead to less "resolution". It depends to the sampling rate and bit depth and less to the level control.
