There really aren't any guidelines on these because it really depends
on your data and how you use the database. If you insert/update 99%
of the time and only delete 1% of the time, the defaults are probably
perfect for you. Probably up to a 80% insert/update, 20% delete
ratio.
If however you're constantly deleting entries from your database, I
would suggest slowly raising those values in step with each other
over the course a few weeks and see where you're at. It is really
a matter of trial an error.
With my databases, I can afford to do VACUUM FULLs fairly often
so I typically don't need to increase my fsm values.
