An idiosyncrasy of mine, I don't like modifying the original imported files (so md5/sha256 hash doesn't change) and having original_epub files in the Calibre library bugs me. Hence, any modification to ebook metadata is only performed upon export. Besides, a lot of devices don't support series information so for those, I usually use a metadata plugboard for the title:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title}

I don't like my eBooks changed unless I do so. I do so using the editor. It means I get changed what I want changed. Also, I don't like the eBook changed on save or send.
Kobo supports series. I go in and change the metadata myself instead of using a plugboard. I have a library for the untouched eBooks that just have DRM removed.
