The answer, as is often the case, is;  "It depends"

Use Pre-processing for stuff you want to happen when you enter a folder.
(Including, but not limited to; marking messages for certain senders,
ignoring threads you have no interest in reading, etc.)

Use Post-processing for stuff you want to happen on leaving a folder
(Including, but not limited to; Moving read mails from certain senders
to another folder, etc.)

Some of the above can also be performed in general Folder Processing
rules. 
(Including, but not limited to; ignore thread, etc.)

Filtering is generally for sorting/marking incoming mail.
