Correct use of the Flight Director

I am interested in hearing other people's flying techniques, particularly in regards to the flight director.

Are you just supposed to "blindly" follow the Flight Director and do whatever it says (place aircraft symbol in the middle of the cross hairs)

or

Do you set and adjust the aircraft attitude (pitch and bank) by reference to the raw data, using the Flight Director as a guide only ?
