Generally I use them when I working with weight that I repping for 6 or less but if I had chronic wrist pain I'd wear them for most of my bench work.

Is it a good idea to always use them when going so heavy?

For me, I look at what I’m trying to target and whether or not the wrists are the weakest link in the kinetic chain preventing me from hitting the target muscle group to failure. For example when I’m doing weighted pull-ups my hands want to give out before my back and as such they are limiting me. Removing them from the chain so to speak with wraps also helps me to get a better mind muscle connection with the target muscle/s.

Just read other posts and think I may have misunderstood your question. Was thinking you were referring to the wrist wraps that go around the bar as opposed to wraps meant to stabilize the wrists.
I've used the latter for heavy bench and it definitely helps.
