Quote: Don't learn the 'rule of thirds' 
it restricts creativity.

Disregard the so-called "rules of composition?"
Do I detect a kindred spirit here?
You'd be a breath of fresh air in the CG Ivan.
Quote: ....anything will do
Some car photographer's drop the left or right side of the camera to angle a car as if its going up/downhill for a faster speed look.
Some architecture photographer get down low and point up a bit (Ade) to get forground interest and buildings.
Some fashion/bloke photographer's shoot a foot or so below eyeline to give the subject more presence.
Some fashion shoots of girls get above them to soften their look or draw attention to their faces.
Some macro shooters shoot straight down to the ground, star gazers point up much more.
To shoot for the public shoot proven styles, to shoot for other photographers try fresh angles to the norm.

Adrian...a trigonometric joke! Not something you see every day....
On a more serious note, it's a good practice to get an old slide mount or card cut out to the same aspect as your sensor and look through it, change your angles and positions and distance from your eye to see how stuff appears framed by it, then you can gauge what angles and focal lengths look better than others. You can keep a slide mount in your pocket anywhere you go (except maybe the swimming pool...
) you will soon get used to seeing which angle is better or worse.
Change heights, walk round subjects, try to see how many different shots you can get. There is no substitute for experience, and you will only gain experience for yourself.
There is no simple answer to the OP's question.
