WIth type, your line length, point size and leading are the most important. If you have text heavy document (like a novel) then your leading will essentially be your baseline grid.
It's sometimes useful to have the baseline grid set to your leading size, starting at your first line so you can double check that the leading is correct throughout.
Baseline grid is also useful for working out divisions of point sizes and leading etc (eg for footnotes/captions etc).I would never click 'snap to baseline grid' that is just plain lazy and leads to poor leading and spacing between headings etc. Do things properly
