With the overhauling modulation capabilities in #Bitwig, there's still need for manual curves, so I've taken this somewhat fixed strategy in order to not get confused about all options:
1. At most one manual curve per track and I always record it to mod-wheel. That way it translates from hardware to every plugin and have different meanings.
2. Rest of the automation and "wiggling" with modulation capabilities
3. Proactively (mis)using MPE parameters (pressure timbre etc) exactly to sequence automation. It feels pretty natural as it is like note effects in trackers. Like in a bass I might map pressure to subtone, so that it can be taken away while harmonics are kept in same voulme.
Sometimes modulation crap becomes too convoluted. In those situations I make a new track and record the curve there as. #MIDI CC 1 (modwheel).
Have been a bit with confused for couple of years how and when, when there is lot of options, but this is now what I'm converged into.

Proactive misuse of MPE is the latest. Before I tried it sometimes as experiment. Now it is like the first thing I ever fill before trying anything else because of "tracker feeling". Also when MPE parameters have been allocated to the full note operators can give surprising results and have more dimensions.
