I use pro-res 422 LT if it is something with text that needs to be very clear and readable or things that are going to have a close more critical viewing location. Other than that pro-res proxy typically works fine and you can't really tell the difference. You will be able to run MANY more layers in proxy then with AIC in any testing that I have done, so I prefer to use it if I can.
We have some mac minis that we can run 6 layers of 4352 x 720 without a frame drop at 30 fps in pro-res proxy, so mac pros will smoke…

On older mac pros - approx indication of performance difference
1080p
There are 5 different prores codecs with very different performance
Prores 4444 - 1layer
Prores hq - 2
Prores 422 - 3
Prores lt - 5
Prores proxy 6-8

So you adjust for how many layers you need
More layers- use faster codec
Less layers - use slower ones
