Default Exponential versus Linear controls

Had a breezy day yesterday for flying so spent some time experimenting with the transmitter programming. Ended up with 30% exponential on the elevator but linear control on the ailerons. The plane felt unresponsive with the exponential cranked into the ailerons and I am wondering how others end up programming. I usually fly a fairly slow approach to flare so having the ailerons respond right away felt better.

Had one flight where I accidentally set the elevator end point (up) to 20%. Noticed it right away but it made for a rather tense approach and landing! Have to be more careful when changing settings.
