Sack. It's the money.
I'll occupy rarely, and exterminate those of a different faith.

I usually occupy but when I need cash I sack. I rarely exterminate. Only if the City pissed me off. Sometimes I take enemy cities, sack them, destroy ALL of the buildings and give it to an ally to create a "buffer" zone.
"Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing"

Havoc! Havoc! At them!
err I tend to sack for the cash particularly if I've no intention of holding the area. I love the smell of Chevauchée in the morning!

I exterminate most often. I really dont know why, perhaps its because I'm enraged at them resisting me. I sack a lot as well, and I only occupy when I conquer a huge city like Rome.

Early in the campaign I sack any rebel settlement of course. Extermination just makes it harder to develop the settlement later on. (Unless you are blitzing and need to raise florins for 'home security'.) I just found out I can't bus peasants into a settlement and disband them for pop!
And for other factions I check the papal rating/ diplomatic relations prior to conquering.
