You do not use only one isolation mode in a project. Typically you use all three, on different locations of course. The default file system isolation mode (asked during Setup Capture but accessible in the package.ini) is most of the times Merged in production but during debugging and tweaking of a project do I always use Write Copy. This is so I will capture all changes in the Sandbox.

Which locations use which isolation mode depends on how the application behaves and what you want to save in the Sandbox and what not. There is no silver bullet answer to your question.

Some generic rules I use:

* Temp files should not be Sandboxed, use Merged

* User settings, this is 50-50. Sometimes is it easier to store user settings natively but sometimes is it better to Sandbox them.

* Favorites, cookies and so on do I not Sandbox, use Merged

I try always to keep the Sandbox as small as possible.
