I prefer the 'standing up' to breaking the closed guard too. I actually started doing the standing up vs. the knee at the middle of the butt through trial and error and I learned I had more success and felt more comfortable doing the 'standing up' method instead. Most of the time when I try the knee break/pass version I compromise my base and I get swept a lot or it becomes a struggle.
The way I do my standing up guard break now is from a video I saw Kurt Osiander showing how to do it on move of the week video on youtube.
I believe breaking the close guard with the knee version in the middle of the butt is effective only if your larger than you opponent.
