If it sounds good. :p
In all seriousness, it depends on the context. I'd say "finger pedaling" works best when the Alberti bass accompanies a very melodic/expressive theme, and the tempo isn't too fast - an example would be the slow movemvent of k. 545. On the other hand, I wouldn't use it under a faster, lighter and/or more rhythmic theme/motive, like the 2nd themes of Beethoven's op. 31 n°3 or Haydn's Hob. XVI/49. That's just my personal taste, though.
As for the una corda pedal, it also is a matter of taste and depends on the dynamic context. I'd try to develop as broad a dynamic range as possible without its help, and then use it when you need to further than what your fingers alone can do.
