Yeah something to think about. Maybe you should do an experiment on that. I always take cuts as shown in B and never had any problems. After one night in water with aloe vera and then to peat moss, usually i got roots in a week. So i’m pretty happy with B. Thats all i can say.

I don't know which is better. I would make a cut below A, leaving some stem below that node.

Ole @Heisenbeans showed his method in a quick vid.
I cut @ node,
on 45° angle,
I scuff up the outer skin, a little,
Dip it in clonex or rooting gel then
I jam it, like a good jab into the moistened 75 - 80 f Rockwool. I dont ph I use ro water and I have a solid success rate

I usually take an entire lower branch right at the trunk (I take clones when I clean them up to get ready for flower), and then take a razor blade and make a 45 through a node (starting slightly above the node, and ending slightly below on the other side). Scrape it up with the razor blade a bit, dip it in clonex and pop it in a plug. Roots in about a week give or take a day or three.

I just cut wherever on a 45ish and toss in water in a window sill and change the water out once or twice. When there is roots I toss it in the dirt. I often bury a node later when I transplant into bigger pot

B) might work just fine, most of the time, for the lucky and patient, but it will always be slower.
A) is MUCH better as the nodes contain Meristematic tissue, plant cells that can become branch, flower or even ROOT cell tissue! crazy! Branching Nodes are where the action happens and a buried node will start forming roots from theses cells that were yet to become branch cells.
A. Bury the nodes!
wiki: meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells, found in zones of the plant where growth can take place. Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of a plant and are responsible for growth. Differentiated plant cells generally cannot divide or produce cells of a different type.

I follow the long held Soviet belief that taking cuts
on the lowest lateral means theirs less (N) to worry about
and at harvest tops get to go on to toke
I prefer to use household honey too as its got the same stuff as
the Clonex bottle besides honey is antiseptic
for those who don't get it.. see this as
basic cambium engineering scrape and tease
..scrape and tease
and yes a 45 degree cut does open up more surface area
but so does a run with sandpaper

So I did a comparison of clones, 50% cut at point 'A' and 50% at point 'B'
You be the judge for yourselves. I was hoping for a more definitive answer, might need to do a few more comparisons to see if there really is a major difference.
Note: these were just cut at a 45° angle.
No scuffing, splitting or anything else done.
Just dipped in clonex and straight into the mini pots, foliar sprayed and pots soaked in rhizotonic and water only.
