What you have listed is default and the default is a good balance for performance/availability for the majority of workloads.

I don't see a reason to change it unless you have a workload where the performance is not what you expect. The only thing you can consider changing (again only if there's a use case) is disk stripe > 1 if you need high sequential read speeds with a particular storage policy.
