I go with the widest, longest stitch / which, I think, makes it more like a hand quilted one.. I may be wrong about that.......if I am using invisible thread, I do it shorter.

Great question! I've been using the default on my machine (Bernina 440) 2.40 but next time I will try something a bit longer.
