Honestly it doesn't matter too much. Others may disagree. Use a few different headphones powered correctly and a few different monitors. The most important thing is to be familiar with the sound of your headphones, so when you hear a mix, you have a reference for where you want the end to be. I personally use headphones for micro-panning details, subtle noise, fine tuning transients, and some EQ. Also of course during the recording process as well. Again, the most important thing is to be aware of the signature of your headphones so you don't end up overcompensating. Use multiple sources. If you are just using headphones for mixing late at night etc... you are probably not committing any final mixes in that state anyway.
