Yo Ho there Subnaum,
A most excellant question. It is a sorta personal taste kinda thing.
One thing that you will often see is the smaller, and shorter leaves have a tendency to wrap around the bud itself thus protecting the bud a little. Some folks like this look, others don't.
The bigger leaves need to be pruned away, so that the bud will dry well and look pretty, allowing it to have that clean firm bud look.
You want to trip away the longer stuff right after you chop as this is part of the manicuring process. Be gentle and try hard not to handle the bud to much, you can lose a lot of good THC by over handling though I must say the feeling of your fingers all being super sticky, and those sweet smelling buds is all part of the magic.
In the end it all comes down to, " It is your call bro"... but yeah you definitly manicure right after the chop...
smoke in peace

Sub'... with a cpl of decades of guerilla grows behind me, this is what I learned was 'best' for me.
I removed ALL of the big fans before ever chopping the plant. Then I cut individual branches/buds to length, to fit into shoe boxes, for transport in the backpack. I didn't like packing anything I didn't plan to smoke. No excess stalks, leaves, nothing.
