There's no rule. I play a bunch of simple falsetas with my thumb, and my friend plays the same ones with his fingers.

I will opt for the way that I can drive the rhythm the hardest, if I am the only guitarist. Sometimes it is thumb, sometimes fingers, depending on the melody. I may put the melody in the lower octave if I want to play with the thumb, and vice versa, I will but the melody on the treble strings if I want to play picado. Or you can do the first two times pulgar, then the last time Picado,etc, lot of options.
