Default Toe-in preference for a daily driver

Is there a preferred setup for toe in a daily driver? To set the total toe at 1/8 1/16 or 0? I've replaced the steering rack on my '99 Si Coupe and trying to get a comfortable setup for commuting.

Someone else can chime in but most of the time you want toe as close to 0 as possible.

Go with oem at the alignment shop or just zero if you are doing it yourself. I have spent too much time and effort doing it myself with testing and adjusting both the "preferred" toe out for fwd and the toe in for "stability in straights" but in the end, still adjusted it back to zero on my TL, which still wanders a little on straights (not as bad as my 7.3 powerchoke), but a lot better than wandering when 1.) changing lanes, 2.) pulling to the sides when braking. Getting it to zero seems to be my forte as on 3 occasions, I spent $75 each on all 3 visits to "align" my cars when I had messed with steering components only to find out, "your steering is pretty straight on".
