I use 2.25 EVPUs and double that for ledger lines. Line Thickness in PDFs depend on the distiller. If you are using Ghostscript than use version 8 or higher, it seems to have the most accurate line thickness translation, in earlier versions lines tended to be thinner from my experience.
I don't think you need to change staffline thickness between 60 and 80%, however, if you get much smaller than that lines tend to get very thin on postscript laserprinters, and may need to be set to a higher value. (Stafflines are proportional to reduction.)
