I think, as with everything else with digital, it is best to do as much as you can in camera. If I'm taking pictures of a stationary subject, I'll get multiple angles and multiple possible crops. I also think it's important to pay attention to composition while you're shooting.
That said, there are also times where shooting with the deliberate knowledge that you're going to crop later is valuable. For example, if I'm shooting sports where I'm following the player with a central AF point, then I'll try to shoot a little wide so I have room to crop for composition later. There isn't time (for me, at least) to frame for composition with sports. I'm focused on the moment.
I'm afraid your term "croposition" is going to make people think that it indicates a deliberate laziness in not trying to compose in camera. But as you will.
