It depends on what you are trying to convey. If you wish to express an action or state as doubtful, imagined, desired, conditional, hypothetical, or otherwise contrary to fact, then you can use the subjunctive mood. (I.e. If I were rich, I’d buy a mansion.) Thus
the subjunctive mood signals a statement contrary to fact {if I were you}, including wishes {if I were a rich man}, conjectures {oh, were it so}, demands {the landlord insists that the dog go}, and suggestions {I recommend that she take a vacation}.
