Help with fingering!

Been playing one and a half years now. Can't find a teacher locally so going the Youtube route.
One small thing that I can't source help for is moving down from a root to a fifth (eg Bb on the G string to F on the D string) when your using the fore finger. Would you normally flatten the finger and 'barre' or lift the finger completely off the string? (I noticed Danny last night on telly switching fingers for this shift)....someone will probably say ...all of the above.. or depends... but for the sake of my practice routine what would be the best first step?

Depends on where I need to go after the F#.
If I was stopping the Bb with my first finger, I'd probably use the same finger and lift off to drop down to the F# , but I was following the F# with an Eb, I'd probably use my second finger for the F# so that my first finger was ready for the Eb.
