How right do you try to get it before :-

Try to get it right in camera it doesn't always happen. when I used to shoot clubs I had to get it right in camera as I only shot Jpeg so I set a custom WB and got my exposure set.
 
I try to get it right in camera, but that's as much for my own satisfaction as anything else; and may also have something to do with growing up with film. Sure, you could manipulate the images during processing, but it was more difficult and time consuming, and you didn't have this option with slides.

I'm not obsessive about this. I shoot raw to retain flexibility, and normally use AWB which is easy to adjust in post processing, within limits. It's the final image that counts, and I doubt if very many people are concerned about how you got there.

It is amazing how people forget that photography always been a two stage process, and fail to embrace the changes from film to digital in the processing, while fully praising the change to digital in cameras.

I always try to get it right on camera, simply because is less work later on when processing images.

Agree with that, even in the "old days" with Slides (transparencies) it was not uncommon to blank off sections ( aka CROP] for projection.
It all depends on what you like to do though.
When we all had to buy expensive film/processing, many was the time when you could go around "snapping" without any film in the camera just for the enjoyment of handling your camera and practising setting up shots.
If that's your thing, sitting for hours doing PP is not that much fun and so getting the shot as close as, can free up your snapping time.
On the other hand, lots of people like swapping heads and graphic design. . . :)
