I don't have a standard formula, since every shot/shoot can be very different. I usually don't sharpen my images unless I've missed focus then I usually do the repairs in PS. The palettes I used most are the WB, Exposure, Enhance, Highlight & Shadows, Curves and Colors. I like the Curves palette in v3 they are more traditional. Previous version had more or levels slider with plot-able points. That was not so intuitive.
