I concern myself with highlights and work not to let them blow out, but do
not allow them to shift midtones down too much. Transparency's narrow
latitude can shift the midtones too dark if you let very bright highlights
influence your exposure decision too much.
I also usually let deeper shadows fall where they will.

With 35mm it is always most important to get the highlights right and let
the shadows fall where they will. I think it is true even with print
film. I was taught to expose BW film for the shadows, but this
presupposes development to control the highlights. One doesn't usually
have this kind of control in C-41 development (or even with BW most of the
time), so I basically shoot print and slide film the same way.
