Well most people choose to run at a certain spec either for racing purposes or for tire fitment, there are a couple more reasons.
But if you dont have any reason. I would just aim for stock specs, or the closes they can bring it to. if you have a full SPC kit, you should have 90% of the fields in Green if not all.
Toe and camber are what kills tires.

350Z springs in the front, coupe springs out back
Front camber: 1.0
Rear camber: 1.1
Front toe: 0.16' total
Rear toe: 0.22' total
I told the shop to set my front toe to max spec as it's one of the ways Nissan fixes the front tire feathering issue that plagues the Z (and G on Z springs). I didn't realize until about a week after the alignment that the shop also set my rear toe to max toe-in. On the OEM 215/55R17, the handling is fine, but with my wider 18X8 235/45 summer tires, the car can be darty, but it has amazing lateral grip and turn-in on the auto-x course. I am going to dial back a bit of the rear toe and hopefully reduce some of the dartiness.

IMO, aftermarket front camber arms are really not that necessary if you're toe is on-spot. I'm running a 9.5" wide wheel and using stock camber up front. Save your money, only buy a rear one if needed.
