I always edit. Use Samplitude, several advantages over ProTools in this type of work. For example, it burns to CD from within the program with full quality, no need to wait for full "real-time" bounce or mix. Burn time less than 10 minutes. Also real good sounding included effects (my ears like them much better than PT-s). For removal of coughs and such, spectral cleaning really saves the day, you got to see it to believe it.
