I'm careful not to go over the 5th out of nine gears when I'm in my granny chainwheel on my MTB. Typically, I'll leave the granny and ride the middle chainwheel when I'm in 5th because I typically put a lot of strain on the drivetrain on a trail.
I rarely ride the granny on my triple roadbike. When I'm in the middle chainwheel, I'll ride the full range of the cassette because I'm rarely putting any strain on the drivetrain.
I never run small gear to small gear or large to large on any bike.
