LST and Pruning? are both necessary?
when one uses CFLs in a stealth box with LST, should they prune as well or is tying the plants down enough to make them bush out?

Avoid pruning at all costs.. this does nothing good for the plant as you're simply cutting off parts that it needs.
Tuck leaves down and LST , but don't prune. Avoid it at all costs.

I agree, avoid pruning, but if you have a healthy plant, and limited space then you might want to carefully consider how you are going to train the plant.

you dont have to do either. LSTing if done right can increase yeild. but the plant will produce if you do nothing

There is such a thing as pruning for yield. Same principle as topping, splits the stems and creates more bud sites. The genetically determined strain-dependent maximum is usually around 32. Some strains cannot achieve their full potential without it. The downside: it slows growth down a fair bit.
Unless you have two or more months of time available to veg AND you need/want short extremely bushy plants, it's probably not worth it pruning for yield. I sometimes do it though, simply because my flowering cab is usually occupied for 10-ish weeks at a time by other plants anyway, so I have lots of time for veg, and my veg boxes are very short, so stunting their growth (in return for many more bud sites) is a reasonable tradeoff for me. I've always been happy with the results of pruning for yield, personally. Your mileage may vary, of course.
There are a few pages about pruning for yield in The Cannabis Grow Bible, which I have basically summarized in the above paragraphs. The book has some pictures, but I'm too lazy to scan them in. Heh.
