Through trial and error, here are the settings I use for orchestral scores: group brackets at -12, braces at -21 (-6 if no bracket), group names at -54. I know this doesn't help in using the Setup Wizard; I always start a new piece by modifying another (recent) piece. Too many settings to take care of otherwise. For Fin2k4, I did have to edit my entire expression library, but it was well worth the effort. The new expression positioning options are alone worth the price of upgrading.
