In the end you will discover what is best through trial and error, remember to have it properly set, you adjust and check the timing on a warmed up engine.
The difference that it makes is if its a street car then it is best to have it idle smoothly, if its a track car then you want top end performance and idle doesn't matter as much.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's a street car so I will go for the smoothest idle.
Cheers.
