Unless you have some nice sounding rooms available  Grin

Definitely

I saw a great video on the recording of Jame Bay's album and the rooms and reverb spaces they had were amazing - although for control they did use the large "reverb rooms" as send fx "plugins" with a speaker and re-mic approach

A James Bay overdub for a backing vocal was even recorded by James on his iPhone and emailed to the producer, which was used on the final album!

I record a rough vocal to a track with no reverb, compression, EQ or anything then process that guide vocal. More often than not  I delete that take and record on the new track. It doesn't make much difference to me because I always have that track muted when I record vocals. I record with one headphone on my left ear and the other one off so I can hear myself in the room.

Sometimes it's a necessity to track wet, but if possible I will track dry and apply effects ITB. Tracking wet would limit my possibilities during the mixing phase.
