I don't think there should be any hard and fast rules regarding this. Do whatever sounds right and works well. Having said that, one of the challenges of playing the larger wound strings with the i/m/a/c fingers is the "screechy" sound you can get when plucking at an angle, assuming you use nails. Bare-flesh players do not have this problem, of course.
