When bouncing the flash, should the flash output be bumped up or should the sensor pick that up by it's self?

By the book, if you are shooting with the strobe in TTL or Auto mode (I assume this is how you are shooting) and the camera in Manual mode, then the camera and/or strobe should compensate. However, what I've found is that alot depends on your camera and strobe combination and this may differ even between the same brand combinations (identical camera and strobes). You have to do your tests and adjust accordingly. Use the histogram.
Also, you can consider shooting with the strobe in Manual mode at a power setting in order to get the consistency that you want.
