I guess it kind of depends on your goals for the ride. When I do group rides, my main goal is to just squeeze my legs a lot. This implies a lot of pulling through (potentially with light acceleration) and keeping the speed high. Also lots of attacks of course - I always want to try and create a breakaway situation. In an actual race, I'll take some hard pulls but it's more selective contingent upon the overall goals of our 1/2 team.
