Usually my starting point is major, minor, dominant, or m7b5. I may also add maj7b5 or maj7#5 or min(#7) to the list of "starting points" in the right context. In general I probably toss out the root, 5th on most chords, except when I'm going for a Quartal type sound (eg mi11 or 6/9 type chords)

I like to let the situation dictate the texture of the voicing, the more instruments present the "thinner" the chord can be.
For chord melody/ solos I use larger voicings.
