I agree with matching whatever parameter is likely to be exceeded first. On the A++ it's often N1, so I tend to try to match N1 on takeoff, then match torque when in cruise, but on the A model T5 is likely to be the first limit, so I like to keep an eye on that. Most pilots I've flown with tend to match torques in cruise flight.
