There is no such thing as a preferred setting. It depends on what is most important to you - speed versus accuracy.
When I'm doing a quick lighting test render, speed is most important.
When I'm doing an almost-ready test render, speed has some importance but I'm also trying to assess lighting and artifacts as well, so at that point I raise it.
I may adjust other values as well, such as IDL samples, which may allow me to lower the IC value again.
Your question is a little bit like asking what is the preferred angle to keep your car wheels at.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
