Basically, I look at the trophy list and roadmap first and work out how much I can ignore it. Ideally, I will just play the game once, then come back and do my second playthrough with a guide to find all the collectibles. But I'm not so desperate for trophies that I'll ruin my experience to get them
For something like a jRPG, I always play with a guide, irrespective of trophies, I know I would miss out on so much if I didn't, at most I have played 1 or 2 in my life without a guide
