I think it is safe to say that egvrich's suggestions are mainstream among many managers.
There is no one answer, but for a non-theme league with decent managers, pushing team steal settings above normal is not typically a net positive effect as it results in too many steals of the wrong bases, at the wrong times, by the wrong guys.
The business rules for baserunning do not have the same effect, and in fact, it is much more conservative than most would want on a smallball team.
Still to the question, unlike some other settings, there is no need to guess. Try it and track it for your circumstance--the data is there in misc whether it is steals or base running.
