Fuel selector procedure prior to TO

The procedure I'm aware of is to start on the lowest tank and change to the fullest tank prior to power checks. Having witnessed how long it takes fuel to run through the lines it's always concerned me that water may get through to the engine at the most critical time just after take off. Do others follow this procedure or do you tend to switch tanks earlier?
