As with almost all things in life there is no universally right answer: it always depends . In this case the kind of grind you want to sharpen.

P.S. I have a basic Lansky system too and I use it on every new flat ground knife to put a nice and even bevel on it. [IMHO the Lansky system is the simplest and best system for max. 5" inch flat ground blades. The basic system is all you need (but you may want more).]
Once the bevel is set I keep it sharp with ceramic rods and strops.
