I have a somewhat unconventional style so I don't know how much use this will be to you. Most of my dialogue is intended to convey meaning in some form or another, or to illustrate something about one of my characters, so I consider carefully what my protagonist will say and what the responses will be beforehand. I have to do this to make certain that all of the information I want to convey is conveyed and no more than that. Most of my fiction is odd in that it's told from the perspective of a potentially unreliable narrator, who may not want to share information with the reader directly for his or her own reasons, and instead may wish to convey the information with clues in dialogue, and that's the reason for the careful consideration. I hope that helps you.
