Spring dead-heading is best *unless* some of the heads are damaged and
starting to send rot down the stem. In this event, I cut back to the first
strong pair of buds. You may lose a few flowers (depending on which type of
Hydrangea you have) but I'd rather have a healthy plant than an extra flower
any time.

One book says prune of flower heads now, another book says wait until
spring. Which one is correct?
