Should I use a gray card to measure white balance when I am going to using a flash unit on my camera?

You may want to do some testing. I always color balance with a gray card when I want the color balance right on. You might also set the camera to the flash pre setting. Also, experiment with auto white balance then see which one you like best. If you shoot in raw, you can always change the white balance before converting. Good luck.
