A very good question since effectiv usage of the registers is one key for a good display kernel.
I usually use Y for graphics (lda (ind),y) and in parallel for scanline counting, X for the PF (normally also having a vertical lower resolution) or other things (like stack manipulation or to store temporary results, A is for multi purposes.
You should have a look at some other peoples kernel code or disassemblies from graphically advanced old games (e.g. Pitfall!, River Raid or Cosmic Ark). Then you might get the pattern where to use what.
Have?fun!
