I always test the pH and then add acid accordingly when mixing things up for the primary. I try to push it down to 3.6 if I can.

In the winery they just use tartaric acid for adjusting wine pH. Adding malic acid before mlf is pointless anyway, and malic is a very sour acid. It depends what you are doing, but I think tartaric is fine for most purposes.
