For a custom grind, or high-end cam...definitely degree it in for max performance.

However, many of the cheaper cams (Alphabet cams, trick-flows, cheaper cranes, etc...) are all a few degrees off from one lobe to another, so degreeing one of them from say, TDC of cylinder number 1, might yield something totally different for the other cylinders.

Generally, for these cams, putting it in dot-to-dot is sufficient. Mine runs like a raped-ape and it's never had a degree wheel on it.
