I'm in the trim every time crowd as well, though I'm not sure if it really matters or not. I shoot for precision, and to me the thing that causes precision (on the ammo side) is consistency in loading technique. But, how far you go with consistency is largely a matter of individual preference, and anal retentiveness.
My rifle loading process for precision and long range rifle work is:
1) Dry tumble (if very dirty -- skip if fairly clean)
2) Full length size and de-cap.
3) Trim, debur.
4) Wet tumble with stainless media (to clean primer pockets)
5) Prime
6) Charge with powder (weighing each charge)
7) Seat the bullet (no crimp)
Some people will read that and feel like I did too much (particularly on the issues of primer pocket cleaning, trimming, and weighing powder). Others will read that information and decide that I skipped a lot of steps (like neck turning, sorting bullets by weight, sorting brass by volume, bullet tipping and meplat trimming, annealing brass, etc). It all depends on your own desires.
Disclaimer: My shooting is done in field expedient positions using equipment I can carry with me in the field. I shoot mostly at steel targets, of various sizes, at distances ranging from 500-1,500 yards. Some of this I do competitively, some of it I do for work, and some of it I do for fun. A benchrest shooter will often be on the extreme end of the prep steps I mentioned above, while a tactical shooter will often be on the less extreme end of the spectrum.
