Being a coach and in order to get rid of some things I don't like in my game (technique etc.) I try to at least once a week to film myself practicing certain drills and look closely and honestly at myself from the side to see if there's an improvement there.
So here is one of the standard drills which is good for rotation games which I practised and filmed just last Sunday. Here you can see a good example of one of the answers to your question.

If you go to time mark at 2:19 I turned up pretty straight on13 ball so in order to get a better shape on the next 3 ball I've had to play low right but failed and made quite a poor stroke with draw and a slight left instead. So after pretty easy possibility to recover and failing I've got a long straight in 3 ball where I've had to bridge over the balls in order to shoot. Here I had two options to choose from: 1) first of all focus on making the ball and get long cut on the next pink ball but more comfortable to bridge and shoot and recover from there or
2) trying to draw "for the audience" in order to get closer for the pink and risking to miss and the chances for that were pretty high.
Usually what option to go for you choose basing on your experience, limitations and so on. There are a lot of nitty gritty details to consider in each certain situation and the experience will help you with the right decision. As we say here in my country : "experience is a son of the hard mistakes"
