  There's no general rule of thumb, if you read descriptions
on these policies , it will probably depend on your
user community and their general internet access profile.

If all your users download movies, all the time, you will
need another setting, then, if they only look at very small
objects (for instance).

The best bed, on the long run, is to compare, cache efficiency
params from cachemgr, when switching from either policy
replacement option.
But that is an iterative process, which works over a longer period
of time (only).
