For me there is no short answer to that question. While I generally "trim the bud", I may or may not leave it on the main branch, may or may not trim fans, etc.
The conditions when I harvest will dictate the way to go.
I have seasons of 80-95% R.H. and we also have times of 30-35% R.H. I take the humidity into account (along with temps) and work from there. The idea being that ideally I like 10-14 days of dry to around 65%.
Trimming to just the buds when it's relatively dry is much different for me when there's been rain & storm and the humidity is 90% @ 90 deg.
I know this didn't offer a quick and easy answer,, but maybe some idea why one chooses to do things a certain way? My intent is to stay on the safe side of mold, but still offer a longish dry before the cure. Then again, some just don't bother to cure. A lot about what you'd like in the end I guess.
