White balance for macro/flash

When using a diffused flash as the lighting source for your macros, what do you use for a white balance setting? I've never given this a lot of thought and have always used AWB, perhaps to my detriment.

I use the flash setting when indoors. Otherwise I use AWB-- which is close to ambient lighting.

I use AWB most of the time with good results colors usually come out true.

My camera is set to AWB for my macro work. I shoot raw + JPG. Raw is unaffected by any camera setting, other than ISO, aperture, and shutter duration. AWB only affects JPG.
