Answer

Use stratified cross validation for classification tasks with uneven class sizes, and always perform any data preprocessing separately within each fold.
Real-world example A team building a disease prediction model uses five fold cross validation to make sure their reported accuracy is stable and not just the result of one favorable data split.
