If you use light-based AO , the only light it should be on is an IBL.
If you're using material-based AO, then don't use light-based AO at all.
MBAO is better quality, gives you localized control, and only runs where you need it to. All of those advantages are made pointless if you use a light-based AO as well, plus it takes twice as long to render.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
