Default Which Plants To Pinch Out

Can someone tell me which plants need to be pinched out when small and which
plants dont

That depends on how you wish the plant to grow.. Pinching out isn't a
'necessary' action that happens in nature though it may be replicated by
browsing animals etc. Generally plants are pinched out on tip growth
when you wish a more bushy habit with more flowers/fruit, or pinched out
at the sides when you want a more upright or singular growth of flowers
or fruit.

Specifics of which plants you have would be helpful
