Default Wing tip design?

The basic answer is to do whatever you feel like.

I have been an aeronautical engineer for 20+ years, and have finally come to the conclusion that if some wing tip design really was better, it would be obvious and people would not still be arguing about it all the time.

Besides on an ARF, you are not talking about having outstanding aerodynamics to start with, and even the best of tips wont make a noticeable difference.
