Maybe there are things I do that I'd prefer to keep secret. Maybe there aren't. If there were, maybe I would try to protect ONLY those very few high priority items. For the rest, I'd do nothing to hide anything.
Of course, taking it a bit further, remember that the best reason for using crypto for *everything*, important or not, is because if you only encrypt the important 10%, that tells the opponent 2 things: 1) They can disregard the other 90%. 2) Even though they can't read the other 10%, they can apply traffic analysis to it, and see where that 10% was going. If you encrypt everything, they have to apply traffic analysis to everything, and chase a lot of dead ends. If you only tunnel *some* stuff through TOR, they know you have something you consider important. If you tunnel it *all* through TOR, they can't tell what's important and what's not. Whether tunneling it *all* through TOR gets you onto a "watch list of people who are known to be trying to play with our heads" is a different question ;)
