With the *istD photos, I generally used 261% at 1.5 pixels and a threshold of 11. With the K10D I'm still experimenting, but I seem to be coming in at about 100%, 1.2 pixels and a threshold of 19. It's all a matter of subjective taste. But I do look for artifacts and dial back if I see anything unhappy.
