with respect to voice leading rules that I usually follow
I keep certain chords within a group due to them "belonging" with each other (I got tired of "consonant" chords sounding "out of place" with "dissonant" chords) so I play around in a certain "group" that "belong" together and switch groups whenever I feel like it.
I really can't go the route of "set" progressions. I require freedom so I don't feel fenced in. As long as the chords in a particular group sound like they "fit" together, there's no need for me to have "set" chord progressions (following voice leading rules also keeps the playing sounding like it "fits" together.
edit: I'm talking about chord forms (finger positions) not Amin, EMaj.
I don't really care what the root is. Whether it's a minor chord, augmented chord or diminished 7th chord form is all I'm considering.
