Hi Shripathi,

If you are looking to play with power and speed you should stand close to the table to give your opponent less time to react to the ball.

If you are going to use spin then you could take a step away from the table and use the spin and variation to win points.

Yes it completely depends on who you are playing.  See what works against each opponent and in each rally.  Variation against an opponent is also effective.
