I really quite anal about this......
I hate having to crop, and most of the time the only time i do is if i have to correct lens distortion or a wonky horizon.
I definitely try to compose the shot rather than do it after in post. In my head its like why would i want to turn my 12 mp camera into say a 5mp camera depending on the harshness of the crop.
if i do crop, i will generally always try to use the shift key, so i keep the aspect ratio.
