Which Bypass Mode do you prefer for which effects?

Which Bypass Mode do you personally prefer to assign for which effects and why?
Does how you have the bypass modes set for each effect block affect the volume level of your overall preset?

Here is what is says about it in the manual:

BYPASS MODE – Determines exactly what happens when a block
is bypassed. The different options, not all of which are available for
every block, are detailed below.

MUTE IN –When the block is bypassed, its inputs are disconnected,
silencing the dry immediately but allowing existing effect “tails” to ring.
New signals are prevented from entering the effect until it is re-engaged.

MUTE OUT – When the block is bypassed, its inputs remain connected,
but its outputs are muted. With this setting, effect tails are silenced when
the block is bypassed, but signals can still enter before it is switched on.

MUTE FX IN – When the block is bypassed, the inputs to its internal Effect
Processor are disconnected. This allows effect “tails” to ring and leaves
the dry unaffected when the block is bypassed. The Dry is completely
unchanged—LEVEL and BALANCE settings remain in effect.

MUTE FX OUT – When the block is bypassed, the outputs of its internal
processor are pulled, but dry signal is totally unaffected. With this
setting, signals can enter a reverb or delay before it is engaged.
MUTE – When the block is bypassed, wet and dry are totally silenced.

THRU – When bypassed, the block is completely disengaged. None of its parameters have any effect on the
sound; it behaves exactly as a shunt would in its place.
With BYPASS MODE settings of “MUTE FX IN” or “MUTE FX OUT,” the LEVEL and BALANCE controls will still affect
the dry signal when a block is bypassed.

The MODIFIER slot of the BYPASS MODE parameter does not actually connect to the bypass mode parameter,
but to the block’s BYPASS SWITCH (the same one that the FX BYP button controls).

IMPORTANT: When a modifier is attached to this switch, it becomes the ONLY way that you can bypass
or engage the effect. If you find an effect that won’t bypass/un-bypass, check this setting.
 
I generally agree with the aforementioned settings, but have some implementations where it is done otherwise for specific effect or song reasons.
