Shoot 1:1 to make best use of the image circle from the lens and then crop to taste.

Simples!

"Best use of the image circle" only applies if you're not going to crop later.  For example, an APS-C sensor is 23.5x15.6mm, but a square with the same diagonal is 19.9x19.9mm.  If you cropped that square you'd only end up with 19.9x13.3mm.
