Are we talking about normal driving?
If drag racing, I short-shift 1st to 2nd, cause the gear difference is too wide for a redline shift - it'll reward you with a nice singing of the gears. Everything else can be redlined, but the engine doesn't make that much more torque up there. You want to be able to shift and have the revs drop down into the "meat" of the torque peak for best acceleration.
