Indeed, trust your ears, and before all read Johns Book !!!

Just to add, I never use grid on dialog editing, just use slip, as your ears don't listen in frames... an edit in dialog has to come where it has to come, and that can't be chopped in frame-like parts.

In general I use the lapel-microphones as a problem solver. When the boom is to late or to far or something like that. In general I tend to use just the boom(s)

It all depends on the Production Sound Mixer and how much effort he did on matching the sound of his lapel-microphones with the boom microphone. It also depends on how much attention is put in the placement to prevent rustle etc.

kind regards from Belgium
