perhaps the default is recommended?

I think that ... strongly depends.

e.g.:
What rules you use, which blacklists, how well adjusted your SA is.
(Some rules (rarely) produce FPs here).
Your (companys) policy ...
and last what you do with spam tagged mails, only mark them or 
quarantine them ...

Would suggest to set it to a "high" score first (if quarantined or 
rejected at tagging level).
And to adjust it slowly down if it works well and the rules meet your 
requirements.

btw:
Personally i adjusted it to 3.5, which is aggressive, i can afford some 
FPs (since its my private Mailserver) ...
  (bayes_100 is 3.5 and i never got a FP for bayes 100 and if bayes is 
sure its spam i am too, besides i control manually through quarantine 
(and grep) for FPs ...)

$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 3.5; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = $sa_tag2_level_deflt;
