Default Pruning

I have some vines that were hit hard by last year's Easter frost. I had
to take many back to the ground. So I now have a mix of 2 and 3 year
old vines. Since I'll nip off almost all of the clusters, would it be
better to allow some more buds than the average recommended buds per
vine to get a few more leaves out for more nutrients for the vine or go
with the data for a producing vine? This applies mostly to the 3 yr
vines. I'm not going to let them go wild but I'd like to build them up
as much as possible.
