I'll let someone else answer this, I personally usually do a full
rescan because I have a fairly small library and I generally don't
trust the SBS/LMS scanner to do the right thing if only rescanning
new/changed files.

The normal procedure is that you perform a normal LMS rescan and this
will trigger a Custom Scan scanning after the standard scanner is
finished.
The Custom Tag module doesn't have to be executed unless you have
changed any tags that are configured in the Custom Tag scanning module
settings. The Mixed Tag scanning module in Custom Scan must be executed
only if you have either changed a custom tag handled by Custom Tag
module or you have changed one of the tags which are listed in the
Mixed Tag scanning module settings page.
If you have the automatic option enabled, both Custom Tag and Mixed Tag
modules will be executed because currently they are not smart enough to
detect if it's needed or not.

It doesn't matter which LMS rescan you use.
You should run Custom Scan after the LMS rescan, not before.
