On a day to day basis, always tuning using the common method @ the 5th fret, but I will then tune the B string slightly flat to make it sound better in my ears. If there is a song revolving around Dm it is quite significant, so I make sure that chord sounds right. I've never looked into WHY the B string is always the 'troubled' one, but that's why the stagger the B string on the saddle, correct?
I've never tried tuning to a chord besides that. I'm sure it would sound much better, but also be a pain moving from song to song.
