The super rating system in the new Lightroom is almost too expansive for me. I tend to rate my images differently from shoot to shoot depending on what the subject matter is and how many images I am going through.
Large weddings, for example get a star rating, or a reject flag:
X - Reject (flagged for deletion.)
1 Star - Acceptable, don't delete, Archive Only.
2 Stars - OK, Archive only, don't upload, DVD (if purchased).
3 Stars - Good image, deliver to client, put online.
4 Stars - Good+ to Very good image, Consider for album.
5 Stars - Great image, important moment caught well, consider for portfolio
Second run through consists going through all 3-starred images, then 4 and finally 5. Just to tweak and make sure every image is in its place. It helps when you see all of the images together in their 'class' together.
Smaller weddings may receive only a X (reject) flag, no flag, or P (favorite) pick flag. X images are deleted, Picks might be touched up a little, and images with no flag are uploaded with the picks.
For about every hour of shooting, I spend another hour online rating, reviewing, flagging, backing up, deleting, uploading, etc.
