Question Power band acceleration

If my vehicle makes its maximum power, at say 3000 rpm, should I run each gear into that rpm range before shifting? This would be assuming a light throttle pressure, not flooring it to get there. Are fewer rpm's better overall or does the efficiency of the engine when making maximum power not matter?
