good compromise of alignment specs

im tired of searching - i've been searching and searching and find so many posts that say one thing or the other. basically here's my alignment sheet. i was going to get camber kit to get it back within spec, but i still want the better handling of negative camber, but also want my tires to last a bit longer.

so the question is, should i put the alignment at the extreme end of the spec? -1.2 up front and -1.9 out back? or should i put it in the middle of the range? or is my alignment not far enough out of spec to even be worth getting a camber kit?

thanks in advance for the help...

Remember that published alignment specs are already actual misalignemt specs measured by oem to create xero camber and toe when the vehicle is driving down the road............due to the 25 HP [at 60 mph] pushing the front tires toward the rear.

The suspension is designed to hold the tire as NEAR ZERO CAMBER and TOE as it can.

Static sitting still numbers vs real rolling numbers.

The exact mid point of range is the ideal point for tire wear. As the rubber bushings wear, the shoukd be replaced to maintain as near new operation.
