Answer 2

Well, I've boiled them and then their easier to peel [wearing gloves] to be used in salads or pickling.

If roasting them, just 'top + tail' them, wipe them with kitchen paper, cut into wedges, roast on a oiled sheet pan, adding your choice of seasonings / herbs. 

Answer 3

Peel after cooking,and they're cool enough to handle safely.

Answer 4

After, because the skins will peel right off.

Answer 5

Usually easier After cooking, but either one will do. 

Answer 6

If I'm boiling of steaming them I always do it afterwards by grabbing them  one at a time when barely cool enough to handle and running them under the cold tap over a sieve. The skin rubs right off.  Sometimes the beet shoots out leaving you holding a jacket of peel!

Answer 7

easier after cooking but you can peel them when ever YOU want to.
