Go with what gives you the results you are happy with. I have a Nikon camera (Coolpix A, same sensor as D7000) but I don’t especially like the OOC jpeg colours or what NX-D outputs. I’ve found that I prefer starting from either the default input profile in dt (and a Filmic base curve) or my own custom profiles made with DCamProf. I tried the NX-D profiles in dt (here’s a thread with my Unbreak Input Profile settings) but I always ended up rejecting the output when doing a head-to-head comparison. You could also try C1 profiles, but they require different Unbreak settings and a Filmic base curve (the base curve module curves will give you saturation issues you’ll have to compensate for with another module).
In RT, Lr and DxO PhotoLab I like starting from Adobe Standard dual illuminant profiles with a slight HSL tweak for skin tones and the blues. If there are tricky lighting situations or very saturated colours in the scene, custom-made profiles (DNG Profile Editor/DCamProf/Lumariver) can come to rescue.
