Depends what you need to accomplish. Definitely can be done all within FCPX. With Optimized Media you get high quality ProRes files you can easily use to finish the project. With Proxy you’ll get lower bandwidth ProRes that will perform a lot speedier during editing, especially on lower end Macs. And then you’ll switch back to original for the final outputs.
