Maybe a bit of a balancing act as the different parts of the motor will want different treatments - so for instance the cams want a good fast steady running in at decent enough RPM that they get lots of oil for the first bit, which might not be best for the rings.
So my approach, do the proper cam break-in if you have new cams and rockers, change the oil, and as much as possible after that, get on it and get the rings seated ASAP.
