Shakes/Doits

Hey Tony!! hope all is going well -

I was talking to a friend of mine today about shakes. Do you (or do any readers) try to finger notes so that shakes or doits or whatnot fall within the 'harmonic pallette,' for lack of a better term?

An illustration: say you have a shake on a G just above the staff - would you shake it fingering 13 if you were on a GMaj chord versus open on a C7? Or 12 on an A7? I tend to think about this a lot, but then I decide nobody really gives a crap and I stick with whatever fingering i use for the base note, but I'd love to know how people who get paid for this think :)
