That is possibly true if you are going to push in a general sense, relying on natural flow of candles into enemy lands. If you are doing so you want to be preaching in your own lands to maximise the outwards spread of auto-checks.

If you are directing a push, however, higher is always better. Blood sacrificing at the borders and stealth preaching are the obvious ones, but even building temples at your borders and preaching your own border provs to max dominion will benefit a lot from having higher dominion. Certainly plonking your high dom pretender next to enemy lands will speed things up substantially.
