To be honest there is no real guide, it's pretty much entirely situational and based on how you and your opponent approach combat.

Some people seem to have this notion that certain tactics, spells and pieces of equipment are 'scrub tools' and whatnot, but in reality this is just a view, once you get to the brass tack it's pretty much about defeating the opponent, honor is nice but unnecesary and sometimes rather stupid.

Of course, the entire point of playing a game is obviously to have fun, so it's up to you in the end.
