I'd say most people probably don't delete automatically at all, but rather file spam to a spam folder. My own personal settings at the moment are that <7 I do nothing, between 7 and 15 it goes into my spam folder that I can check via IMAP or webmail, and above 15 gets immediately deleted. Without the immediate delete above 15 there are just too many messages in the spam folder to look through, with delete above 15, there are only a handfull and I can be 99% confident nothing important scored over 15.
I do something similar: Anything above 5 (which is the threshold SA is tuned for) goes into a spam folder with the subject line showing the score. I can sort by subject, showing only unseen messages, and quickly spot any FP's (of which there are virtually none). I reject anything with a score above 10 during the SMTP transaction (using MIMEDefang) and this eliminates about 2/3 of my spam load. I've never seen a FP above 10 since 2.55 was re-tuned to avoid classifying common mailing lists as spam.
I do get quite a few FN's, most likely because I haven't automated Bayes training and the training I do is haphazard. (It's not hard to set up; I just keep procrastinating.)
