for the District i work for in LL I have been told that when asked to appeal the pitch, you do not have to unless you feel that you need to. its just something we have done locally, not sure if its the right thing. this may or may not be the case in the rule book, but thats what I have been told and thats what I have done in LL games. If I was to get to the sectional or regional level, that might change but as far as district tournament play its been at the umpires discretion whether or not he will grant an appeal.

when doing non-LL, i'd give an appeal if they ask for one.
