I agree with all who say set the course you wish to fly. There is an exception and that is when flying a Back Course ILS - then you must set Front Course inbound track in order to avoid the reverse sensing of a back course signal.

Not sure how many Back Course approaches are left (they used to be quite common in Canada) and glass cockpits coupled with "BC" switches have probably rendered this a moot point.
