As BNR said, it's important to pre-game this with your partner so you know that you're on the same page for the night.

That is how I prefer to do it.

Said another way...take the half of the pass/crass that is closer to you. This means that both parts of it will usually be covered well. In the aternate method, you can end up with a pass that is difficult for the lead to cover.
