And if you are interested in learning everything about your plane, learn
both.  On the 172 I fly, it takes almost exactly 3 spins of the trim 
wheel for a comfortable almost hands-off steep turn.  Once you learn
how much, you don't have to fiddle with trim while turning.

If I'm simply turning to a heading, I don't bother to trim.  If I'm
going around and around and around and... I'll trim.
