I have a weird system. I base it on mod experiences. Am I getting hit more? Take+2 to Defenses Am I having trouble hitting opponents? Gain skill ranks Do I need more nifty tricks? Take talents. Yeah, I know generally what I am taking in the Tier, but I prefer to let story guide the order. I, personally, think organic growth likes that helps me stay in touch with the character as a living character with a changing history/story.
This is the general approach I take as well. It's based on what I have and what I feel I need at the time. Plus other unusual circumstances like a particular adventure experience or if I, for example, know that I'm going to learn a new skill, I'll want to try to do that before taking +1 to all known skills. But for me, it's pretty organic.
