Like most other situations where you take photos, it depends on the situation.
If the lens I want to use has a lens hood attached to the stored configuration of the lens, and needs to be removed to remove the lens cap, I will always use the lens hoof. Otherwise, I will not necessarily use the hood, depending on the lighting.

Exactly. Those who suggest that all pros use lens hoods all the time have fallen into the trap: failing to think that there just might be situations where it hinders your photography. One genre is macro-photography.
One of the best, period is Johann Ingles-le Noble. Here is his web site: http://extreme-macro.co.uk/macro-gallery.php
Another is Thomas Shahan who reverses lenses and actually props his flash unit on the rear lens element. There’s a Malaysian tour guide who shoots Herps at night in the jungles. Guess what? No lens hood. Do o use a lens hood? Yes. Most of the time. But those who make blanket statements simply don’t consider that there may be reasons why a lens hood would actually prohibit getting the shot.
My Nikon twin macro flash won’t even fit with a hood on the lens.
