I read that it's best to play passive, SIMPLE--solid positions where its very easy for you to calculate the good move. The common misconception is to complicate the position and make the computer confused--ITS A COMPUTER--!!! Simple, locked up, passive positions work well, and I have beaten stockfish level 10 with that in mind (in case you are wondering, stocksfish lvl 10 is like 2300 strength! ) it was only once out of like 30 or so....still. ;)

Don't get into crazy tactical jungles-- you will lose that way. It also depends on the computer program. I have beaten the full hardness of chess free, the crappy one. So it depends.

The person who employs a chess engine to decide what moves to make will never become a good chess player. If I suspect someone of using an engine I just feel sorry for him.

Personally, I would be one to use an engine to see how well I can do. I would also be the one programming the engine, so I would be doing it to get better at programming bots rather than getting better at chess. I believe both should be allowed because when robots take over the world we'll still have to play chess with them.
