If no scientific study available, which is better in your experience or
opinion?
Raking all the leaves off the lawn before winter, or leaving the leaves
where they fell, and under a blanket of snow (see sig for location). If
left on the lawn where they fell, would the nutrients be better released
by melting snow, and also provide a smidgen of insulation for the ground?

After you mulch the leaves, aid the decompostion with a wetting agent and
something that aids bacteria in breaking down those leaves. There are a few
"teas" in combination out there in recipes to put in your hose sprayer
bottle.
