It always depends on context. For example, left hand B/E and right hand C/F are "standard" but C#/F# is half the time on the left, half the time on the right. You choose which C#/F# fingering based on the notes on both sides.

That said, there will be exceptions. The D#/G# choice will regulate things like left C/F and right B/E. It also, of course, will stipulate left C#/F# too...

As far as other fingerings, the G#/C# left hand fingering also can cause trouble with the above-mentioned notes.

Additionally, chromatic F#/B shouldn't be used when preceded or followed by notes which require your RH ring finger on its "usual" hole...

Alternate fingerings are a big subject. If you encounter problems in a specific passage, you can always ask here....
