Everybody will have their own answer to this question as it really depends on the piano and the situation. My rule of thumb is to get every single string to within 4 cents before doing a fine tuning. This means I will do a pitch raise or a partial pitch raise for any notes that are greater than 4 cents sharp/flat.
