Digital BW, The Print

I am unsure of what I am looking for in terms of color balance when I 
bring RAW images into PS to convert to B&W and print with UT2 inks. 
It is obvious that I want to maximize the tonal range, avoid blowing 
out highlights and get good deep blacks. (I know that I need to deal 
with some of this at the point of exposure.)  However, do I want a 
neutral, cool or warm image.  My intuition, which completely free of 
any knowledge of the topic, is that a warmer, somewhat flatter image 
is going to provide the best tonal range once I convert.  Am I 
correct?  Any advice appreciated.
