Default Fan Settings...HELP !!

I'm going to install a 160* thermostat this afternoon and what are the correct fan settings once it is put in..I can reprogram them but just need the on-off settings for both fans..

I know I've seen the settings in a thread but I've searched till my fingers are about to fall off...Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Its all personal preference on the settings.

I have mine at:
#1 fan on at 189
#1 fan off at 180
#2 fan on at 201
#2 fan off at 190

My #2 fan very rarely comes on at all even sitting in traffic in 90 degree heat.
