Long ago, I adopted the method of creating different 'models' for assets. One of them being a render version. Always cached out, then apply cache to render model and render scene. Too many issues can pop up with rigs on a farm. Any pipeline I have been involved in setting up since then, has a caching section firmly entrenched!
