Caching View vs Caching Queries

I'm about to push my site into production, and trying to optimize things.

I've set up view caching using before and after filters for my main pages. If I do this, it seems that it is not necessary to cache queries (using the remember feature).

Is this a good approach, or is there anything else I am missing out on?

These are mainly product and category pages for an ecommerce site. Some of the dynamic elements on the page I will pull in through javascript, such as the cart count.

Thansk.
