I'll often skip 3-5 or 3-6 if I'm accelerating up to cruise. If I'm doing a pull for power, though, I shift through each gear's powerband up to near redline to get the max out of each gear and not shift too low.

I'll often from a stop go 1-2-3-5-6, or 1-2-5-6, or 1-3-5-6. or 1-3-4 or 1-3-5 (if surface streets). Downshifting, it varies a LOT depending on traffic ahead. My goal there is to downshift without having to use the brakes at all unless necessary. This helps save on gas.
