In general I find stuff like leather caps/girdles and clothes/robes are better left unID...
Potential benefits are too small compared to getting cursed robe on... or well, bad ego. I think armor wise -- I'd check if the base stuff is clearly better (leather armor over robe. etc), once char has something like chain mail/studded leather ... form that point I am only interested in armor of higher metals (better PV, does not get destroyed easily). Same for boot slot - get something beneficial like heavy boots and stick to them untill ID or weight shows something is better.
Wear ID is way worse than wield ID if you compare benefits to risks.
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)
