Unless the defaults conflict with your use case, there are advantages to
sticking
with defaults.  Lots of other users will also be using defaults, and maybe
some with
hardware similar to yours, so if you encounter an issue, the chances others
can
reproduce it are much greater than if you are using a one-off
configuration.
