A trivial recommendation is that you use the settings most appropriate for your application.  Only you know whether you need the highest resolution setting (because it is a requirement of your broadcast client), the widest or narrowest FOV (based on your subject material), and the appropriate frame rate, either based on where you live in the world (NTSC vs. PAL), are looking for cinema or video distribution (24/25p, 30p, 50/60i, 50/60p, etc), and whether you need to cut corners to accommodate media/battery constraints.
