Hey there David. In terms of accounts to pull from etc, we can't really speak on that because there are so many different variables to an individuals situation. We try not to dive too deep into the financial planning end of things.
In regards to what would be best for particular accounts, Canadian dividend paying companies are solid for a taxable account because you get the added benefit of the dividend tax credit. Optimally, we want to avoid holding US stocks in a TFSA or a taxable account because the IRS takes a 15% withholding tax. The TFSA is actually the WORST place for them, because not only do we get charged the 15% withholding tax, but we do not get a credit from the CRA. If a US dividend is charged a withholding tax in a taxable account, there is the foreign dividend tax credit.
If you're looking to draw down on accounts, the dividend growth model likely isn't optimal. This is more of a total return model that is low yielding but aims to provide compounding dividend growth and capital appreciation. However, the hybrid all Canadian and high yielding models might be right down your alley if you're looking to build out some income portfolios.
