You will get different perspective on this question to be sure. The first suggestion then is, take them to define what works for you. That may mean a bit of trial and error on what is suggested.

I certainly set Due dates on projects or tasks that have hard deadlines defined by external constraints. Otherwise, I sometimes set Due dates on projects or tasks that I recognize "should" be completed by a certain date. This is especially true when those projects or tasks result in something concrete that is to be delivered to someone else. I try very, very hard never to set due dates on a task or project based on when I think I want to complete it. That becomes subject to changes in the weather and makes it seem like everything is an adventure in putting out firestorms.

I do go past my Due dates (for example, I have an annoying list of overdue tasks right now). So even I am still learning how to work out this issue better.
