I prefer the Firefly renderer to the P4 renderer mainly for speed (I have a 4 core processor). Be aware though that the Firefly renderer is not perfect, and can manifest some really bad incorrect shadows, and seems to have problems with the Smooth Polygons option in some cases. These are the settings I usually use:
Higher values for Raytrace Bounces is only of use when you have multiple reflective surfaces, and you need the reflection to reflect from more than one surface, or refraction/fresnel or somesuch. Irradiance caching is mostly to do with Ambient Occlusion.
