I don't have any good ideas or experience here. It would seem to depend on
(a) how "good" or "bad" the geometries you already have are; (b) how sensitive
the charges are to changes in geometry; (c) how sensitive your docking or
binding energy calculations are to changes in charges.
You might experiment with different strategies to see how sensitive things
are.
