I almost always consider these placements in whatever houses they're located in, but am wondering if I should start referring to
them in the next house? I prefer using the Placidus system, which holds a few of my placements near the cusp of the incoming house. My Sun is in the 3rd, but roughly a degree and a half before the IC/4th house, while my North Node is in the 9th, but 2 degrees before the MC/10th house. The thing is, I'd feel weird addressing them in the next house when my chart indicates otherwise, and can identify with both houses pretty well.

No. First ensure the Asc is as accurate as can be, then you'll know what house the planet is in for sure. A planet can be in a house, but conjunct or parallel the cusp of the next house. We don't say that planet is actually in the next house, but if it is really conjunct or parallel the cusp of the next house (within 1° or less), then it can have a close relationship with the activities of that house even if it is not in it.

And yes, Placidus gives more accurate placements -- IF your Asc degree and minute of arc is tightly accurate.

My question is, if anyone has a planet/point a few degrees before the next house, do you normally refer to that planet/point in its actual placement, or rather, in the latter house? And why?

Don't assume you can answer such questions until you have answered the question of how accurate your Asc is. And don't assume it is accurate as-is simply because it was cast using a time on an official record.

I know I'm an Aries Ascendant -- an early degree first decan with almost every characteristic. Definitely not a Pisces or Taurus Ascendant. And not only because it is the time on my official birth certificate, but because many people were there that night including my uncle who was paying extra attention and was a bit saddened that I was born an hour after his birthday. I never had doubts on the time.
