Questions like the above don't have general answers. Without knowing anything
about the nature of the protein and the ligand, and what kinds of distance
restraints you are using (and how many), no one can help.
Don't be afraid to experiment. If you want to "compare vibrations" it sounds
like you would most likely want to use unconstrained simulations. Using
artificial restraints to prevent the ligand from rotating or exiting might
sometimes be useful, but you are probably going to have to run many
simulations to get a feel for the effects of restraints.
A good strategy is to find a published paper that does an analysis similar to
the one you want to do, and use the procedure as a starting point.
