Cam, I think there will be a range of options here. What I describe here is what I personally do and it works for me. I don't use any sort of idle up. When I pull the throttle stick all the way back, the ESC is in brake mode. I use the Futaba ESC so my brake is set to 60%. Every ESC is going to be different on the brake settings. Having the stick just forward a little is brake off. I fly with 3 flight modes. Normal which is minimum throws required to get through most of the sequence on everything. Landing mode which retains the aileron rate but bumps up the elevator and rudder throws. I use this mode for spins and stall turns as well. Then snap mode which keeps the same elevator and rudder as normal mode but increases aileron throw.

What I feel I am missing with this is an increased throw on rudder for just stall turns. Prior to pulling vertical for stall turns I switch to my " landing mode " so I need to be very careful on the radius and my rudder is for practical purposes overly sensitive on the up line but not really enough to pivot the airplane on its CG either. A stick position rate switch or like your Jeti a stick push button would be a big advantage here. Hopefully other guys will chime in and we both may learn a thing or two here.
