My preference is for individual equipment CBs to be on the panel
and visible (rather than hidden fuses or CBs) to help with in flight
diagnosis in the event of an instrument or equipment power loss.

In some cases I might try a reset - I did so succesfully once when
the turbo pylon CB popped with the engine half retracted. I
would probably reset a bugwiper CB too. Delicate intruments -
not so likely. Nor if the cockpit were to be getting smokey.
