Some people say leave her alone and others say remove the small stuff below? If so, how far down should I remove the small growth? Thanks much!

I like to remove any foliage alone the bottom 4-6 inches for airflow to help prevent mold but yours looks fine in that area.

Personally on that plant I wouldn't remove anything.

I would however think about supporting those branches so she doesn't break when she gets heavy with buds.
 
There's no reason to cut anything off that plant. There's plenty of light exposure to the interior, but you might want to plan on staking some of those branches. Besides true lollipopping is dumb. Selective pruning can be prudent in certain situations, but real lollipopping is just plain dumb.

I think it's very important on certain plants.. Bubba Kush responds well to being lollipopped

I always take the 1st 3 rows of branches off because all the bud on those is basically useless. I like to be able to work on the soil in case of pest problems and it improves air flow around the plant.
