Use whatever shifting pattern fits your transmission's gear ratios, your engines' torque, and keeps the RPM's below 2000 for normal acceleration. On my car, its usually 1-2-3-5, except when accellerating on a hill, where it will be 1-2-3-4-5. If I am merging into heavy fast-moving traffic where I need full accelerationg and have to run it up close to redline, it will be 1-2-5.
