I realized I may be in minority here, but I always wrap my ribs in a faux cambro when they're done. So I smoke them 'nekkid' until they're done, and then I apply a sauce and wrap them for 45 mins up to 1 hour.
So, how do you do with your wibs?

Nope, not needed. When they're done, they're done.
I only wrap beef ribs. And I always hold. Only thing I do different is IF I sauce, I do it about 10 To 15 minutes before I pull them to get a good glaze, and some additional smoke flavor in the sauce. Otherwise I sauce on demand for the sauce fiends, and glaze theirs under the broiler.
I sometimes wrap my ribs if they finish early or am transporting them. I first let off all the steam and let the heat dissipate a little so they don’t overcook. I also pour off all the juices before I wrap.
I wrap on the grill for about an hour then finish unwrapped for a glaze with sauce and to tighten up the surface. Only cambro if im early or people are late, lol

If I wrap or not depends on how they are cooking and what texture I want them to be. As far as holding in a cambro goes, no unless they get done early or guest are late!!

I usually do 3-2-1 Ribs or something close to that. We prefer fall off the bone and our guests like them that way too. If I sauce it's a very thin coat.

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)

It's like the old Mounds vs. Almond Joy commercials...sometimes I do, sometime I don't. It all depends on whether or not I feel like a nut that day. Here recently it has been not as I have been going with the blasphemy type ribs.

can't answer the poll. Like some here it all depends on the situation. I have found that when I do wrap and cambro pork ribs for short periods of time (hour max) the ribs DO get a bit more tender. I'll wrap and cambro for transport or to hold for a later meal or late guests. I think beef ribs benefit from a wrap and cambro so I pretty much always wrap and hold those in a cambro or warming drawer.
Once they pass the bend test, having been smoked at 225, I wrap them and into a cooler until eatin' time. I try to let them rest 30min at least. I don't sauce them though. I prefer to sauce them as you eat them at the table.
