Pikmin 3 (gameplay strategy)

I’ve got a question for anyone who has played this game through.
What is the appropriate way to progress through this game?
Since you can opt to replay any day are you supposed to replay each day until you reap the most out of it. eg. first day- explore, replay- strategize, replay- speed run with strategy, etc?
Since your inventory levels carry over into the following day how for do they carry into future days if you replay past days? For example you are currently on day 10, you go back and play day 6 and end up with extra food and pikmin not found on your past day 6. Do these transfer all the way through to day 10?

When I played Pikmin 3 all the way through, I would restart the day if I got owned on the tasks for the day (especially during boss battles or if my entire flock got rolled over by a boulder) or got no fruit whatsoever. If you do that, you will end the game with plenty of juice.

As the game says, if you replay a particular previous day, it removes all your progress from that point onward (i.e., Back to the Future time travel rules).

Thanks. That helps quite a bit.
So best strategy is to keep replaying the current day until you’ve gotten the most out of it before moving on to the next day?
