How do you decide whether to couple or de-couple a component?

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

If coupling supposedly drains vibrations but still interacts with whatever is under the component, and de-coupling separates the component from whatever is underneath and absorbs some vibrations (dependent on the device I suppose), how do you decide which is the most appropriate to use for any given component? Is one better than the other under certain circumstances?
